Eugenics, In theory & practice Options

[PaulAllen]

Eugenics is the idea of altering human heredity to benefit people, such as genetically implementing defenses against disease. But it can also be used to create designer babies that look however you could want. There are certainly benefits and many risks. After World War II, when the Nazis' horrific eugenics program was revealed to the rest of the world, eugenics essentially dropped out of scientific vocabulary and has since become a largely ignored subject. But as science discovers more and more about genetics and how heredity works and can be altered, eugenics is possibly one of the most sensitive bioethics issues of the 21st century.

Thoughts on its allowance? Regulations and restrictions and ways of enforcing them? Altruism or playing God?

i think this messes up the whole cycle of nature. i mean, why cant we just be, the way nature &God made us to be. im not saying that just because i am Catholic. i mean, its like... boring? i mean, its like, planning out your baby. like, how they will look &all that. i find it pretty weird, and i dont think i'd ever get into eugenics, or w.e. if we advanced in technology more, &used it with eugenics, we'd have no surprise. everything would be planned &perfect. once the world evolves, life would be, plain and boring. i guess. i think that we should just let things, you know, happen. i believe God has a plan for everything, &nature will evolve, whatever may happen, imo.

imo... haha, i learned a new word
