Eugenic used in a sentence

I did not say it was enough, just that the goal certainly appears to be eugenic.

If we try to "solve" the problem, fascist and eugenic political measures become the problem. That's not any kind of choice.

Here, have some free birth control pills" would be a eugenic policy, but it's not forcing anything on anyone. The same goes for PGD: It allows parents to have children who lack a "bad gene" and thereby improves the genetic health of the population, but it's not compulsory.

These hard to prove theories, such as Jared Diamond's and in the reviewed book, exist in large part to counter the highly convincing and data driven eugenic theories. The eugenic and IQ based theories are politically unacceptable."

The above is the simple version of present reality, but it cannot be used to rationalize eugenic or racist policies. We're all in this together and the problem is not which children, it's the fact that there are too many people -- of all kinds -- having children without thinking.

Interesting, what kind of family policy would you propose, if not that of eliminating non-eugenic individuals? I mean, is there a way eugenics can work without removing human rights?

I don't like this kind of nonsense arrogance: "In a period when eugenic theories still circulated, Molaisons doctors reportedly told him that he shouldnt have sex, since he would likely reproduce children who were similarly damaged." We're still in that period and it's probably a good thing.

Free higher education is the absolute best eugenic program ever devised-- if your kids are smart, society will invest limitless resources in making them succeed-- because it hurts absolutely no one; it's pure carrot. Instead of getting soaked on tuition, parents whose kids get into top schools should get paid.

"When I learned about Chinese eugenics this summer, I was astonished that its population policies had received so little attention. China makes no secret of its eugenic ambitions, in either its cultural history or its government policies."

Exactly The point, really, is that eugenics itself is not necessarily evil until and unless you attempt to control the reproductive rights of others by your own eugenic criteria.

Modern statistics is about handling the data that is available: present-day researchers cannot rely on a statistically perfect study which would have to be generational and eugenic in scope.

What I find even more Gibsonesque is the prospect of China investing in eugenic technology like iterated embryo selection. They've already invested in researching the large patchwork of genes that are correlated with high IQ. Combine this with the fact that most Chinese citizens have far more positive attitudes to designer babies and we are looking at a future where the average Chinese citizen has an IQ more than a standard deviation above the average American.

I am not into eugenics, and I'm not the poster you're responding to, but eugenics, as a theory, is perfectly harmless, until such time as one begins imposing eugenic criteria for others. Given his interest in his own genetic data, and his interest in eugenics, it could well just be that he sees himself as less likely to reproduce if doing so would be to pass along a detrimental illness or genetic abnormality.

I emphasize my euharistia to you, Kyrie to the eugenic and generous American Ethnos and to the organizers and protagonists of his Amphictyony and the gastronomic symposia. 1959[edit]\nKyrie, it is Zeus' anathema on our epoch for the dynamism of our economies and the heresy of our economic methods and policies that we should agonize the Scylla of numismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic anaemia.

Proper Noun Examples for Eugenic

Eugenics, as a theory, is perfectly harmless, until such time as one begins imposing eugenic criteria for others. Which becomes nigh-inevitable once eugenic theories are readmitted to the discourse, because once you postulate that individual reproductive behavior has a detrimental effect on society as a whole, it becomes a public health matter.

When applied to human beings, this smacks of eugenics, of engineering the "defects" out of people. It assumes that we understand nature better than we do, or that we can outwit nature, or that we can implement eugenic projects without destroying society. We keep proving that we can't do that. > In similar ways, rewriting our genetic code or making other changes to humanity can be considered an advancement from humanity's point of view. So it is a eugenic proposal. All the worse for us. Eugenics suffers from many serious defects, one being that we can't outwit nature, another being that implementing eugenic plans inevitably falls apart for practical and political reasons.
