I don’t think that’s eugenics.
That’s Darwinism.
And it’s better than that bc it doesn’t select against mal-adapted traits people aren’t responsible for. It’s just the consequences of people willful decisions.
I don’t think there’s an ethical problem with it.

I very much hope you did not fabricate a quote and attribute it to me, as that would be both a straw man and intensely dishonest.
But again - I can’t tell.

Oh! It turns out selective breeding is the primary definition of eugenics! The rule of thumb comes through again!
Would have thought a biologist would have gotten that right, not someone remembering the word from high school.
I said people should experience “the consequences of people (sic) willful decisions.”
You can tell that’s what I meant bc that’s what I wrote. Right up there. 👆
I think it’s moral for people to suffer the consequences of their actions.
