Fine, but I wasn't (and I'm not) arguing that you can't want normal kids, I just personally dislike when people claim it's not eugenics - I.e. Seeking more desirable traits - And I'm not saying it has to be bad on all cases because even something so horrible can be good if its effects are minimized.
How exactly do we do selective breeding? Do you search for someone with high intelligence just to have smart kids? Do you search for blond women just to have kids with lighter hair? Would you refuse to breed with someone with an IQ over 120? Most relationships happen because people feel like it's right or due to social pressure but few think about selective breeding.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
