You can't artificially induce natural selection by definition

sure i can

if natural selection is let idiots who don't wear helmets on motorcycles die, then yes.

You can, but you wouldnt

Go full sparta and throw disabled babies off a cliff.

No, it's not natural if you do it artificially

I mean, natural selection would also imply no medicine etc

Not necessarily

You can do it naturally too

You can *only* have natural selection naturally

You can have it naturally if you want

curing cancer by chemo isn't natural

Hence i can't fully support natural selection

Animals abandoning babies. Is that natural or no?

Remove the safety nets

depends on the animal really

medicine spits in the fact of natural selection, outside of eating things that have medicinal properties

Are we going anprim in here?

anprim?

Anarcho primitive

Nope

dafuq is that? 😛

Lol

You are the one taking it there

Enforced caveman existence

depends how much you view "fucking with your body with artificially created medicines" as still being natural selection

No, I wasn't the one saying we should stop using medicine

"Natural selection can only be done naturally" paraphrasing

Yes

enforced caveman existence? thats just plain idiocy 😛

As in you cant induce natural selection

lol its actually a thing?!

Yes you can

fml

No, you can't. It's not natural selection then lol

You cut off the ones that are weak and that you don't want to propagate problems for the future

@Dr.Wol take the dumbest people you know, and realize half the world is dumber than that

How do you define weak?

@Grenade123 and people will agree, because they assume they're in the "smarter" half 😉

Handicaped & malformed

unable to sustain themselves

At the very least

Okay, someone is deaf but has an IQ of 135. Dead?

can they sustain themselves?

Oh also they have a gimpy hand

What are we talking about

Edgy eugenics

I'm sensing retard level 6

only 6

a person with no hand can get a claw, the amount of malformation is irrelevant

Its about their ability to sustain themselves

Okay but the point then is what you can replace yes?

Or get around

yes

Oh what amount of disability is considered dead?

A baby born today is likely to be around when replacement spines come in

abscence of brain, Shiv 😉

Not really

I don't think that will ever be possible

if you start culling people you believe to be malformed, its entirely possible you are intentionally removing a gene that might have been beneficial in the eyes of natural selection

They're already working on them

It's a fucking spine

If you were born with a malformed spine

The rest of your body grows adapted to it

didn't they succesfully reconnect some Polish guys spine after he was paraplegic from a knife?

although to a point, if they can't avoid being culled, then natural selection did kind of take place.

and now he can move?

You can't remake it

Now, if it's a person who had an injury in the spinal cors

That can be fixed

But if we're talking deformed spine, too bad

You'd have to remake the entire bone structure to make that work

If a cure for a debilitation exists, then by all means let them live

But to say "Oh we'll have it in the next 10 years" is just false hope

This discussion took a weird turn. I guess I'm gonna get dinner

Good bye Hun! @.B

Have fun!

i mean ffs, the NASA plan was to have a lunar base by 1980

they should change the text to say "several autistics are typing"

We already have tests working on monkeys

What tests

For what

On replacement spines

i'm just shitposting and arguing everything for the chatpoints Grenade 😄

Jesus

Fuckijg Christ

gotta get ahead of princess Shivangi 😛

who wants to be queen

i mean, the only reason we don't have a moon base, Wol, is that we no longer cared as a country

Let me say this again

"We've" built artificial eyes my dude

If a person is born with a deformed spine

Like Ricky Berwick

Or Yung cripp

i mean, we cancelled a project to go back 20 billion dollars in because "we don't feel like it anymore":

i know Grenade, but my point is that when people say "we'll have X in the next 10 years" its always just wishful thinking

Or someone of that kind

As they grow

because 20 years later, its still "just 7 more years or so"

RIP constellation program

Their entire body grows to accomodate it

You can't simply replace the spine

Right but that also assumes that issue can't be fixed earlier on, or that there's no solution for it at all ever
