The past communicates wrong ways in which the formidable conception of eugenics was brought about. Just because our methods were flawed does not mean the concept is flawed. And really, if you are such a vigorous proponent for the individual, then how do you not see eugenics as the ultimate solution? Although it may not pander to the immediate individual, it will help all individuals in the future. Barring flawed methods, eugenics is sublime. It will happen, just not in our lifetime.

it's just one of these crazy moral judgements people keep making, that we should treat others like us with a modicum of respect, and not treat them like vermin just because they may look different or may be sick or ill.

the result was major social unrest, both within the black community (whose families were torn apart, who were bred like wild animals) and also within non-black communities in the North and in Europe, who came to a consensus of slavery (including its eugenic policies) was immoral. finally the question had to be resolved by war.

the so-called "logic" of eugenics is itself spurious. historically, it has failed. after the slave trade was abolished (but while slavery was still being practiced in the US South), eugenic practices were attempted to achieve marginal increases in economic output.

you are correct, morality is subjective. i subjectively believe in the supremacy of the rights of the individual over the rights of an unidentified mass public, who allegedly might benefit from eugenics.

Morality is subjective. Just because a view is different from your own, does not make said view immature, nor hateful. Logically, eugenics will benefit mankind much more than medication ever will. Medication should only be provided to those that make outstanding contributions to this... humanity you so kindly speak of. Bitch.

generally people care about their children, their parents, other human beings in general...
you are reducing human struggles with debilitating illnesses to a pseudo-scientific justification for an ethos of hate and immaturity...
