Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled Eugenicist.

After the gruesome unveiling of the Nazi death camps following Allied liberation, eugenics and other forms of social Darwinism slunk shamefacedly into the shadows. ...
Dawkins himself now says that certain ideas of eugenics may not be that bad after all. In a letter to the editor of the Sunday Herald (Scotland), Dawkins says that, while one would not want to be seen agreeing with Hitler, eugenics can be practical and desirable. He writes that, ‘if you can breed cattle for milk yield, horses for running speed, and dogs for herding skill, why on Earth should it be impossible to breed humans for mathematical, musical or athletic ability?’1 ... "I wonder whether, some 60 years after Hitler’s death, we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and forcing a child to take music lessons." ...
As a consequence of this anti-life ethic advocated by Dawkins and Singer, some countries are already well embarked on the eugenic road, permitting genetic screening in IVF clinics, as well as pre-birth screening to permit undesirable traits to be weeded out by abortion. Note that in some countries, one common ‘undesirable trait’ is being female, which makes it bizarre that most of today’s feminists fanatically support abortion for any reason—see China Gender Imbalance Increases as Sex-Selection Abortions Continue. |
