I've nothing against the fellow, I am merely showing that a single politician CAN, indeed, "break the system" as you so eloquently put it.
Also, lest Earni get on our tails (scandalous! )... Eugenics Is Bad.

I notice you edited to say you caught it, though. Slow on the uptake?

I do indeed understand the concept of spelling errors. I just thought that one too High-larious to pass up.
By the way, I absolutely LOVE your correction to your post!

Eugenics is never good. Its advocates argue that it is designed to weed out bad genes. The problem with this argument is while weeding out the bad genes, you are also weeding out good genes when you kill these individuals or prevent their birth. You are narrowing the gene pool and setting the stage for more genetic problems in the future. Eugenics is based on the theory of Evolution. Like other theories it cannot be proven or disproven. It is a process that needs long periods of time to take place. We have seen micro evolution in the different shades of colour on the human skin and in the different breeds of dogs. Eugenics attempts to circumvent this process and by doing so it actually reduces the gene pool. There is also as Hector mentions the ethical quagmire of Eugenics. It has been the tool of the monstrous regime of Fascist Germany. It could again be used by another monster in the future if one hasn't already done so.

Indeed Entwife Oak, good post.
I think we worry too much about the future's future too much...at least, evolutionists do ...and I mean, it's a bit understadable that they do: they think of life as a sudoku puzzle that they've figured out.

Subscribing to the Theory of Evolution doesn't mean you're going to be more worried about the future than someone who doesn't. Evolution is not about that at all. Similairly, we don't think we have life all figured out any more than the next guy. We have a theory about how life arrived at this point, but we make no assumptions about the future other than the process of evolution will continue to occur.

hmm, let's see; if we use genetics to affect populations, then applying Cryogenetics to the current problem would be defered Eugenics

Why aren't you sure? By your statement you've demonstrated that you don't really understand the theory of Evolution at all. (edited to add because you're mixing up a scientific theory with people's personal beliefs Quote:

Eugenics has yet to be destroyed, it has merely taken refuge by hiding under 'genetic research'
*shudder* Wrong...
