    These are the sort of genetic engineering/eugenists I want to see. None of that “deleting gay gene” or “breeding smart people” pseudo science garbage.

            It’s selective breeding to get certain genetic qualities, which is the definition of eugenics

              It’s avoiding bad outcomes. Babies from closely related people often have problems. Practically every culture has a method of avoiding close relatives breeding

              Eugenics is about breeding for desirable qualities, a eugenicist’s ideal person still couldn’t make good kids with a close relative

                Avoiding bad genetics is desirable. Just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it isn’t eugenics
