    Eugenics is the single stupidest idea in human history. To advocate for it now is to deny biology and history.

    It relies on the same misunderstanding of evolution that underpins ‘great replacement theory’.

      The only place with eugenics in human history is agriculture. There were many genocides done using eugenics as an excuse with no clue of genetics, and you blame eugenics instead of the murderers.

      We have gene editing now, so it’s only a matter of cost when parents start customising their babies, which is a good thing because human variability will increase, making us as a species more resistant to unknown threats.
