Evolution vs. Eugenics

[Martin Hash]

People seem unable to differentiate between evolution vs. eugenics. Evolution requires some alteration to the gene pairs: stray cosmic ray, replication error, and even some Lamarckism. Enough of these genetic abnormalities & the new species won't be able to produce offspring with the original, and even if they do, it won't turn back into the original species. Eugenics, on-the-other-hand, is breeding dogs into things that look like different species but they are not: let them all cross-breed indiscriminately & they turn back into wolves. Wolves are smart, small dog breeds are not. In a Political Correctness society, it is impossible to publicly articulate that there might be dumb people due to long-term selective breeding.

Speakers With Down Syndrome Go Before The United Nations: ‘We Are The Canary In The Eugenics Coal Mine’

I have been asked to tell you how to improve the lives of people with Down syndrome. The key is right there in my opening paragraph. It begins with "I am a man." See me as a human being, not a birth defect, not a syndrome. I don't need to be eradicated. I don't need to be cured. I need to be loved, valued, educated and, sometimes, helped.

Finally, we are the canary in the eugenics coal mine. Genomic research is not going to stop at screening for Down syndrome. We have an opportunity right now to slow down and think about the ethics of deciding that certain humans do not get a chance at life.

My favorite dogs are mutts tbh. They are usually smart. Idk, someday I'm going to pick one up from the pound. Maybe soon if this job goes well and circumstances arise so that I can care for a dog..... Man. I want a dog.

People suck at deciding the survival value of genes or mutations...

We tend to see gene variants as good or bad.

Nature runs much more complicated tests on the survival value of genes.

Many genes have survival value under certain circumstances that keep them in the gene pool... which can only be understood over millenia.

A Downs Syndrome guy, or somebody with Huntington’s can say what they want but that doesn’t override the parent’s rights. Unfortunately, that’s what he’s trying to do.

Agree. The amount of precious time and resources spent raising a Downs kid should be spent raising healthy offspring. It's almost like there is a cult of the broken mentality that's prevalent these days. Like being a genetic dead end is the end all be all highest honor in God's green Earth.
