    Eugenics

    In reality we live in a pluralist world which has many types of people with many different perspectives. We talk about the need for biodiversity, but there is also a need for many other types of diversity such as diversity of ideas and perspectives. What I am attempting to bring to the discussion is simply another perspective on the matter, which is just as relevant.

    Eugenics

    Who is it mocking ? I think its refreshing to see the world from a different perspective.

    Eugenics

    Many posts that appear to be anti Eugenics are only worried about the potential for negative environmental and economic consequences. What about the loss of basic human rights. Check out this clip from the TV series 'Downistie'. It challenges the social construction of whatis normal and desirable, by using a cast of Down syndrome actors. In particular take note of 2:07- 3:00

    Eugenics

    Eugenics would entrench a culture of perfectionism,rejection, intolerance and discrimination. This is not a society that I wouldlive in. Secondly eugenics is blatant discrimination. Who hasthe right to state that people with an IQ over 100 are the most valuable peoplein society?. Disabled people can still live a fulfilling life and contribute tosociety. Sterilizing people on the basis of IQ, sounds like you’re proposing Nazism. Thirdly I doubt that scientists would functionefficiently if they did not have thecooks, admin, artists etc that make up multi disciplinary teams. Withpurely ‘smart’ scientists we wouldn't make it to the moon.
