Jk
Not really forcing them to have abortion would be it
Less unwanted children leads to less deliquents and leads to less crime
Totally agree
Gonna have to pitch it to conservatives as eugenics though if you want to get more clinics
How about telling them this is the most pragmatic aproach and they should stop morallfagging
Eugenics is not really a conservative thing though.
It's literally quite the opposite.
Eh bad joke
People don't realize that there are eugenic behaviors we all enact, if you consider eugenics with the widest lense possible.
Not fucking your cousin is a eugenic behavior.
😉
As far as who to pitch to to get the technology into use, that's a hard one. I'm no marketer so it's hard to say.
I think it's less about who you pitch it to, regarding political temperament, if you pitch it right. "CRSPR has the potential to prevent this slew of genetic diseases" would be your main arugment I would think.
Nobody wants their baby to be born with a funky disease.
Or maybe they do.
crspr would be interesting
CRSPR has the potential to maximize your baby's funk.
im trying to think of that movies about this
have you seen this?
no
it is really relevant
looks cool though
I love me some good sci-fi
watch this
I should watch that again
it is an amazing movie and great thought experiment
I don't think it did super-well at the box office, but I think everyone who was around back then still remembers the name of the film
I read that H.G. Wells was a eugenicist. I wonder what exactly his views were because there's such a range, all the way from scientific racism and utterly evil ideas all the way to commonly practiced and obviously wholesome ideas.
But it seems most people just want to say all of eugenics is the obviously evil stuff
Wells did seem like quite a pro-leviathan guy
My english teacher a while back tried to say that all of eugenics was based in phrenology.
which is profoundly ignorant of eugenics
pro-leviathan?
what's that?
mm, I might have misused the term, gimme a sec to dig out the right book
At the very least he was more a proponent of the benevolent dictator
or a group of smart people making the decisions for everyone else
(sounds familiar)
