Unfortunately, since genes are very much malleable and mutation-prone (for both good and bad), you'd still have to purge abnormally developing fetuses.
Again with the big brain
Damnit @Stubbs not again
Not my fault you're a luddite Runes
There's literally no reason not to be pro eugenics
Literally no reason
From the standpoint of personal freedom, traditional eugenics is a nightmare.
Because I definitely want people like @RoflTank making these kinds of decisions.
There's no way to improve society in the long run without some sort of eugenics
I... what
_no way to improve society_
Making the average human tougher, faster, stronger, and smarter would be a big advantage to the species.
You don't even need to have sterilization or anything, just give tax credits to high IQ people for each kid they have.
That’s astounding
It honestly is a question of quality of life
Is the fetus going to survive
Implementing existing mutations should be a relatively simple process
Also, that’s not eugenics
That is classic eugenics
There's more to eugenic policy than sterilization
It’s like you guys just look at shit as a 1+1 problem.
Raising national IQ should be the goal of any eugenic policy
Oh fuck I'm not touching the IQ-genetics debate with a ten foot pole
...

Time for the weekly rofl moon debate
nah fam it's the benis-runes debate now
I'm not saying we should sterilize low IQ people, but we should incentivize high IQ people to have kids.
I just want to make everybody literal ubermensch.
How do you propose that?
Next it’s gonna be phrenology
Benis
Subsidies or loans that get paid off with each child, a classic way to raise birthrates
So where does that money come from
Benis, you know smart people can have really fucking stupid children with alarming frequency, right?
But... that’s not how people work
Tax dollars of course
And that’s not how genetics works
