Once again, eugenics is coming back

Many people don't know it, but eugenics is back.

So what is eugenics anyway? It is the policy of selectively reproducing so as to maintain a better standard in the gene pool. How this can be done is numerous, but how it had been done pragmatically have been few. One such example lay back in the 1930s, where America began restricting births between socially disadvantaged people (the poor, the homeless, the unemployed) in favour for the intelligent and wealthy. In practice, it can be no different from another form of birth control, seeking to prevent the spread of the disabled (mostly intellectually disabled) within the population.

Now, if you were to ask me why this works. It is because within all organisms lie what we would call genes. Different genes can express their effects as traits on humans, less noticeable are those that carry certain tendency and disposition to act in a certain manner.

Eugenics is of a statistical nature and would work where many people are concerned, as would be the case in any country. There's absolutely no point in arguing about eugenics in terms of mathematics, statistics fully support the claims made by eugenics. Statistics will even show you that if we were to give everyone equal chances of living, humanity will become degenerate someday. So let us see the pros and cons of implementing such a policy

Pros:
1. Humanity gets smarter
2. Dangerous inheritable diseases occur less frequently
3. A form of population control so that we would not run out of natural resources
4. Ensure the survival of the human species

Cons:
1. People arguing that it's not natural (but then again, electricity usage isn't more natural than evolution)
Hmm, that's about all I can think off.

Now, I'm sure a number of you are going to say "Hitler did it and is inhuman". Well first of all, Hitler mainly committed racial genocide when making his Nazi policy. There was nothing scientific with the way he killed people to get a "pure Aryan race". As for the times that he killed the handicapped, that is only one way to practice eugenics, a more subtle approach is simply to not let them breed.

Perhaps the best example I can give of eugenics being practised is in Isaac Asimov's Robots Series. In the story, all 50 colonial worlds practised eugenics and to a smaller extent Earth itself. How this is implemented is by allocating each couple only two children maximum. Only when a person proves to be highly accomplished can he apply for a third child. In addition, only in the colonies, the foetus will be subjected to genetic testing before even getting the chance to live. Since Earth adopted eugenics a little late, its population had exploded to over 15 billion, and everyone on Earth had to eat from yeast farms. (Apparently yeast grows quite fast) The colonies on the other hand lived in luxury.

Then you ask me, where in the world is eugenics back? Well look no further than to society. We are all now more open to homosexuals. How is the eugenics? Now homosexuals no longer need to adhere to the stupid traditional values that a successful person requires a family. They no longer have kids of their own, if they want, they adopt kids, which is an entirely different thing. The point is that you can't help practising eugenics in any free society, the two of them are quite inseparable, where there exist freedom, there exist a choice, genes tends to alters the choice of a person, and because of that, the gene which cause people to make the better choice survives and gets passed on.

And that my friends is eugenics in a nutshell, that it should be used when practising population control, and that it is always present in truly free societies.
