Social Darwinism: Right or Wrong

Or social meddling, I seem to recall that the times in the past when it has been tried there has always been some unpleasant underlying agenda.

If there was a way to erradicate congenital diseases by not allowing the carrier to reproduce would it be beneficial or would we risk losing other genes that would help overall?

Wouldn't it be better to cure the disease?



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
