i never said Eugenics means to kill the undesirables,i never said it was morally wrong. i said it was factually wrong and that it misunderstands genetics. yes, it's societally common to think that there is merit to the idea that we could improve our species by selecting partners based on what we want out children to be like. I'm saying that it is misguided. not morally reprehensible, just not realistic.
please calm down, in not calling you a dick or anything. I'm just saying that eugenics doesn't have scientific or factual merit. it's a common misconception that genetics works that way.
