Imagine what people would do if they were allowed to selectively breed humans
-
There are some sci fi stories about this. They are... not pretty.

That's just called eugenics

The Spanish Habsburgs.

Don’t sperm banks offer selective sperm choices based on intelligence and physical fitness?
-
intelligence? as if being brought up by a parent who believes this shit is gonna make you intelligent
-
There's ZERO regulations in that industry, they can say whatever

One of the "most prolific" sperm donors in Britain is a neo-Nazi. His sperm has been used to bring about over 140 births, but he also spends his free time planning "lone wolf" attacks.

People on 4chan were talking about that sort of thing at least 15 years ago. I think it was on /tg/, if I remember. They were also much more concerned with the trolling/ethical thought of breeding for the brain. What if you bred someone who only had the thought of serving a master?
I think that's enough evidence for me that selective breeding is horribly fucked in its outcome no matter the original aims, and the closest we should come is eliminating the 'will kill you' diseases.

What if curing cancer resulted in the creation of a slave cast. Sounds like a pretty good star trek episode

I guess that movie is called Elysium.

The amount of times I've been blocked on Reddit for pointing out the hypocrisy of humans.. Our species really need to be neutered by default, exceptions only for license holders.
-
Lead by example!

We as a species spent so, so long learning the painful lesson that eugenics is an awful idea. Can we please not relitigate it? That is, can we please not shift the Overton window back to the ideology that directly led to and inspired the Holocaust?

Thank you

Oh sure, having a government body decide who's fit or not for reproduction. Absolutely nothing that could go wrong with that. /S

Be the change you want to see in the world
