oh it's a very controversial topic I agree .... but I think it's
something we must recognize ......
and eugenics is something instinctive too .... even the most
primitive tribes recognize the dangers of inbreeding. Just look at
the britsh royal family .... the young princes are handsome for
sure, but they have the mental capacities of a suzuki instead of
their father's aston martins. Take away their birth rights and they
may just be brick layers or male models or something.
Unfortunately, society's egalitarian instincts forces us to
think of eugenics as a dirty word.
What's even more unfortunate, I think, is that many couples that
are the best equipped to be very good parents, not just in genes,
but in finances and values, chose not to have kids ... I
think they'll actually make very great parents ....
These musings sound very similar to LKY's speech, which led to
the controversial graduate mother scheme.
