eugenics, "eu" meaning good.

Only, who decides whose genes are "good" or not? Is there a consumer price index for genetic goodness? It's impossible to quantify because goodness is entirely subjective. And, more often than not proponents of 'eugenics' are just bigots who like to give their bigotry a scientific-sounding name.

Eugenics is ineffective- it'd take hundreds of years to produce anthing other than superficial differences.

Unless all you're looking for is to get rid of all people of color X or hair color X or eye color X, CM. What exactly about Eugenics do you support? (Edit- Note that wasn't an accusation, just a statement of the only thing Eugenics is good for in a reasonable amount of time. Added hair and eye color to acoid being accused of accusing racism.)

Not only that, but Eugenics requires forced breeding and doesn't make room for any mutations. Genetics is too complicated to actually work with controlled breeding beyond very simple characteristics or very complicated things over very long times.

Even then, non Eugenicked people would still breed, so if you Eugenicised away a disease, once a person breeds with a Prole and unknowingly their child carries the disease, it gets re-introduced back into the gene pool.

Are you talking about genetic engineering or Eugenics?

Genetic engineering is creating better genes through science. Eugenics is taking the precautions to make sure that "undesirable" people don't reproduce.

So which is it? Are you influencing the gene pool by artificially making it better, or artificially making it not worse?

I say yes conditionally. When physical (beauty) traits are chosen, then it's a terrible idea. Imagine 1 in 20 teenagers looking like Prince, who was the sexiest man alive in the 80's. However, I'm in support of the more drastic measures to reduce birth defects, metal retardation, and alcoholism.

I'd say beauty is the only justified trait to be chosen. Imagine 1 in 10 women having huge butts and small waists. The idea that alcoholism is genetic is too genetically determinist to me.

How about we imagine 10 in 10 women being western goddesses, the personification of beauty of the nordic ideal. Not some large butt zulu tribal like you're speaking of.

Why? Not everyone shares your idea of beauty. That's why I don't want all women to look the same. I for one don't really like blonde hair a whole lot. I prefer red or black hair. As it is, you would have to work extremely hard to get all women to look like what you want. "White people" are only one race out of three or five or whatever depending on what classification system you use.

All women looking the same would be stupid. It would devalue their beauty by making it commonplace.

Plus, life, and genetics, is about variety, not uniformity. That's why there's more than one kind of tree in the forest.

And you won't find diverse hair colors in any race other than white. Every non-white race, the women are about as diverse as copy paper.


I don't mean turn every woman into a blonde, many nordic women are red heads and brunettes. Nordic as I use it, is a broad term encompassing probably a large number of the nations of Europe.

I'm in favour of Eugenics, mainly because if the average IQ went up, there would probably be less reality TV.

I can't say I particularly care if Eugenics is elitist. Everyone is not fundamentally equal; some are better than others, unfortunately, and to try and pretend otherwise for the sake of political correctness is both dishonest and idiotic. If Eugenics can reduce the number of people who are unable to achieve basic levels of education, reduce the number of people whose poor intellect turns them toward violent crime, and increase the chances of being able to strike up a decent conversation with a random stranger (which at present are practically nill), then hooray for Eugenics.

The other argument for Eugenics, is my neighbour, who is quite possibly the most stupid person I have ever met. He's perpetually unemployed, considerably less skilled than a clam, and seems to have difficulty pronouncing simple words like candle or bottle. Yet he has children, who, from what I've seen, really are drooling retards. It shouldn't be allowed, for the betterment of mankind! I have trouble sleeping at night knowing he lives next door to me, and is in charge of a gas cooker!

It's a related concept. Looking out and going "hmm, the world is too diverse for my tastes, it would be superior if everybody was like X (same amount of wealth, or same genetic background, or whatever)."

Of course I can. I stand for equal opportunity, my hopelessly misguided friend: capitalism. Equal attributes on the other hand, i.e no one having more wealth than anyone else, is foolish.

Wealth is an artificial attribute, like political power. That is very different from a natural one like skin color.
Santa Barbara
12-08-2004, 22:59
Depends on how you define wealth, I suppose. I see wealth as the ability to obtain, within a certain context, goods and materials required for survival, plus. In that sense, a man with five packs of pepperoni beef jerky is wealthier than one who has a container of Tic Tacs, regardless of whether abstract dollar values are used.

Anyway, it's the same kind of thinking is all I'm saying.

Tampering with the human race's genetic evolution would severely retard its social evolution. One of the greatest advances we have made is in the expansion of [relatively] free choice and freedom of expression to large sections of the world's population, with resultant benefits to the economy and the standard of living.

By removing this and instituting an authoritarian eugenecist code the human race would suffer in both the long and short term. Let people decide who they wish to breed with and ackowledge the consequences of intervention.
New Cnaan
12-08-2004, 23:06
Diversity is flexibility and thus means survival.
The world changes; the more genetically diverse the population is the better it will adapt, atleast at part, to the change. A nation populated by millions of exact clones will be, for example at a very high risk of extinction from a viral infection - if one has a weakness, they all have it.

I'm OK with genetic engineering, as long as it adds traits or cures extreme genetic defects. But it should not be overused, especially not in a consumerist way. Capitalism, Fascism or Stalinism armed with the advanced knowledge of genetics and/or a full eugenics plan would be a nightmare.

I propose that we make two races! the lower one would be strong and docile - they'd be engineered so they couldn't even feel pain and we could even specialize some of them for specific tasks! the other race would be engineered for intellegence and leadership, to keep the lower race in it's place!

...there are some nasty places that eugenics could be taken. It's foolhardy to think that once we give that kind of power to someone that we could expect them not to manipulate it. Hitler had the same idea, an elite race - and since in the next century we'll have a population of 10 billion, we'll be needing to get rid of some people, so howabout racial cleansing?? The whole idea of making the human race better through controlled breeding is disgusting, terrifying, and easily abused. I'm hugely against the idea.

Well, there is one thing about that. Mandating a maximum of 2 children will make things much easier. Then you don't have stupid people going off and having 15 children who they can't support, and who are too far below intelligent standards to exponentially add to the gene pool.
---

But seriously, what do we mean when we say eugenics?

I mean, if it's something like simply aborting people with obvious mental and physical problems, ones which aren't debatable, deadly diseases et al, then sure, why not.

But soon we could be aborting people with IQs less than 130, or people with learning disabilities or who would grow up to have addiction problems, or people who wouldn't be able to run a mile faster than in 7 minutes, or people that wouldn't be hideously deformed or ugly... and soon things get out of hand and all of us would be killed if we were under scrutiny, and most of us would have no children if our children were being screened.

Now granted, people would be a lot happier, and everything would be moving quicker, but then comes the trouble of who does menial jobs and stuff.

And, frankly, it gets too complicated. But I like the limit on children. Overpopulation scares me.

As it is, I would consider myself pretty lucky genetically, and wouldn't see myself being wiped out any time soon. But could I be made better? Definitly. Would I be happier? Definitly. Would I be scared that if we attempted to go in this direction that another Hitler or perhaps Communist Mississippi would completely ruin everything? Absolutly.

It's a catastrophically stupid idea. As I think Santa Barbara pointed out, who decides what is good and what is bad?

Just take a look at mental health. There's a handbook that comes out every few years called the ICD, or International Statistical Classification of Diseases. I think it's up to its 10th edition now, and is referred to as the ICD-10. Chapter 5 (http://www.who.int/msa/mnh/ems/icd10/icd10.htm) deals with mental health problems. So far so innocuous. But this list of recognised "disorders" is far from scientific: in large part they are just classifications of types of behaviour, and are subject to revision and change. In older editions, you could find a definition of "Hysteria", a disorder peculiar to women. In the latest edition this has been removed. It no longer exists as a disorder. You can no longer incarcerate women and medicate them to the eyeballs for the sorts of behaviour which would have let you do just that only a few years ago. Before the new edition, badly-behaved children were often just badly-behaved children: now there are a whole raft of "disorders" which have been defined and which can be treated and medicated. These are all simply matters of definition, made by a committee somewhere. They get to decide that this type of behaviour is now "nuts" and that type is now "not nuts". Based largely on their opinion.

Eugenics would suffer from the same problem. Does anybody really want a committee to decide whether or not people are genetically bad" or "good"? As for the idea of breeding people for their "intelligence", we have yet to find an objective measure or even an objective definition. You could argue that Einstein was intelligent because of his mathematical ability; you could also argue that he was stupid because of the way he treated his wife. IQ tests merely measure how good someone is at doing IQ tests. The criteria for breeding racehorses are easy to define: how fast can the horse run, over what distance. But what would be the criteria for breeding people, and who would set them?

In my opinion, advocating eugenics would be as good a reason to stop someone from reproducing as any other.

i think that genetic engineering IS the modern eugenics. when the original eugenics movement was started the "best" that could be done was preventing the "lesser races" from breeding. *shudder*

now with genetic engineering, gene therapy and selective abortion we can REALLY institute eugenics.

we can abort all "defective" fetuses. those with diabetes, low intelligence, tay-sachs, sicle cell, homosexuality, left handedness, general ugliness.

we can, in our infinite political wisdom, decide who is fit to live. we can stamp out any undesirable traits.

do you really think that it a good idea? take a look around you. how do you like the way we are managing our water resources? how do you like the way the TRAFFIC works in your city? you want the people who cant quite figure out what to do with our garbage to have control of our genetics??

None of it made sense. He wouldn't have created a master race.
By eliminating ethnic diversity, they ensured their own doom, and genetic inbreeding.

The groups he tried to eliminate had their own positive aspects that the Nazis wouldn't have been able to geneticly produce until their recessive genes caught up to them.

Also, they killed many intellectuals, and probably would have only left dogmatic idiots like Mississippi as "ideal" people.

That doesn't sound very supreme.

It's a horrible idea, right enough, but it wouldn't have produced a "master race". Even if he had been able to get the hundreds of generations required to make any discernable impact, the best he could have managed would have been to make some largely cosmetic physical changes. He might have ended up with lots of tall, muscular people, for example. Big fat hairy deal. Intelligence has far more to do with maternal pre-natal, and neonatal/early childhood diet and opportunity than genes.

You're entire "philosophy" --- if Christian evangelism beyond reason can be called that --- is based upon elitist, social darwinistic views.

Post after post, all you have shown is your ignorence and intolerence of diversity, and your menacing post that promises to scourge upon humanity 8 to 12 equally ridiculous creatures, obviously raised outside of the "evil atheist education system", is clear indication of your thoughts and intentions toward people beyond your comprehension.

Not if the population is big enough. Plus, Iceland was not cut off from ethnic diversity. Apart from anything else, the Scandinavian settlers were drawn from a wide area and imported a whole bunch of Irish women which would have boosted the diversity of the original gene pool.

None of it made sense. He wouldn't have created a master race.
By eliminating ethnic diversity, they ensured their own doom, and genetic inbreeding.

The groups he tried to eliminate had their own positive aspects that the Nazis wouldn't have been able to geneticly produce until their recessive genes caught up to them.

Also, they killed many intellectuals, and probably would have only left dogmatic idiots like Mississippi as "ideal" people.

I must say he has nicely proven my point against eugenics.

But aren't some forms of eugenics acceptable?

Like, say, not allowing people with AIDS, drug, alcohol, etc, problems have or raise kids?
Or aborting retarded, deformed, or dangerously ill children?

Ya, I know a couple retarded people. They're about as intellectually stimulating as most [extremely religious] people. And though it's a delight being blissfully ignorant, most would prefer being born with an adequate amount of intelligence (and, hell, they could still become religious and be blissfully ignorant), so they can actually do something besides take up space and drool.

Yah, it's harsh, but life is harsh. And someone really should lessen the blow.

I heard someone at my school talking about a cerebral palsy drive, and showing her sister and talking about the tiny little "miracles" which made her one iota closer to being normal/human/sentient...
And I think to myself, the bottom line is, she'd be better off normal, without all these problems.

The term "sterilization" scares me more than abortion. Sterilzation takes the right to have children away from people, a crucial right, no matter how stupid or undeserving they are. "Abortion" simply stops something from being born, hardly at a crucial enough stage to matter in to the thing.

And no, I think differently. I don't argue or base my political ideas off of my nihilism, I base them off of my existentialism.
And I DO value human and individual life... I just, know, deep in the crevices of my brain, that it really doesn't matter what happens in the grand scheme of things.

Well, I mean, besides that, in actual anime, I've seen some examples of it. I honestly can't remember them though... I just shook my head and went on enjoying the rest of whatever I was watching...
Or was it reading? I think it was manga I was reading which just made me upset... maybe it was Chobits or something.

We already practice eugenics on a personal level by choosing who we will mate with. Why we should attempt to dictate the course of the rest of humanity is beyond me, seems a lot like a waste of money and ridiculously overbearing when we can allow everyone to freely choose their mate based on perceived foibles and good points, which surely appears a far more precise form of eugenics than any ideology based on generalisations or notions based on misperceptions of evolution.

Yes, and the cream of society need the scum of the Earth to serve them fries, take out their rubbish, sew their clothes and so on. It's counterintuitive to remove a massive portion of society when they all contribute to the society's greater good and free up the smarter portions to pursue other portions of economical, medical and technological advancement. Plus it doesn't reduce the cream's chance of getting laid with someone worthy of them, meaning there is absolutely no reason to get rid of the vermin and many reasons against. And you also need to define "scum", do incredibly beautiful but idiotic bimbos count? Are *you* willing to make that sacrifice? :D

Finally intentionally limiting the breeding stock becomes tantamount to inbreeding over successive time periods, throughout the 19th and early 20th Centuries particularly several isolated populations in the States had nasty "we all have the same general look about us" problem.

The fit:

Italy:
Birth rate:
9.05 births/1,000 population (2004 est.)

Total fertility rate:
1.27 children born/woman (2004 est.)


Germany:
Birth rate:
8.45 births/1,000 population (2004 est.)

Total fertility rate:
1.38 children born/woman (2004 est.)


France:
Birth rate:
12.34 births/1,000 population (2004 est.)

Total fertility rate:

Let us pause for a moment and examine what Germany, France, and Italy have contributed to the sciences and arts over the past 1,000 years. Then let us examine what Ethiopia and Somalia have contributed over the past 3,000 years. 1,000 years of Europe will beat 3,000 years of Africa.

Let us not forget that you claim to be a support of women's right. What right do women have in Africa where they are traded like currency, raped en masse during tribal wars, suffer genitalia mutilation, and basically have to do all the manual labor and run community life because often the men are too lazy to do things. (Read "The Great Betrayal" by Ian Douglas Smith, for more information about African tribal life and how the women must do the work the men don't want to do)

In Nigeria they stone women to death who have children out of wedlock. How is that for womens rights?

I would say that womens rights and human rights for that matter, are ideas lost on your average african who still today worships trees, eats his neighbors, and considers raping women from rival tribes a way to pass the time.

That was the case for Europe for many centuries as well. Also, I'm told that not all tribes live that way.

Yes, because the sole purpose of another person's life is to provide you with intellectual stimulation.

I volunteer with the mentally and physically disabled, and I count some of them as my close friends. Intellectual stimulation isn't really necessary for all social interactions. They can live full and happy lives, and aren't always as ignorant as they may seem to you.

Actually, the 8-hour workday is largely the result of efforts by the Populist party around the turn of the century. At the time, they were somewhat close to anarchism in that they favored a decentralized, farm-based government, but to actually call them anarchists is wrong. Anarchism was as much despised then as it is now, both in the US and in Europe, and any movement believed to be associated with anarchists would likely have failed.

Eugenics has it’s ups and downs and can easily be used to further somebody’s ideals. It can be used to reduce and eliminate genetic diseases. However I would rather prefer that those diseases stay around for a while. Too many people in this world anyways. But once we start colonizing other planets, then we can start a Eugenics program. On second though screw that idea. I would much rather that all genetic diseases stay around almost indefinitely.

No, or else it would have a long time ago.

It is genetic, it is random, it is 100% natural.

And it is fun as hell to see religious people freaking when they have homosexual children.

Then again, it's really sad when the kids are tortured through their childhood and life by relatives, friends, local governments and "gods".
"Genetic" and "random" are opposites. It can't be both. Really, the fact that homosexuals are still around is good evidence for the theory that, if it is even partly genetic (and it looks likely that it is), it must also be genetically linked to some trait that increases ones chances of reproducing.
