We do selective breeding in the same way we did eugenics, poorly..lol. I'm not so sure that relationships just happen, and we all have preferences. Yes, I did hope to have intelligent kids by limiting my potential mates to smart girls. I went for darker hair. Under 120...probably, yeah..but there was wiggle room.
"Feeling it's right" sounds all fluffy and awesome...but it can just as easily -and more accurately- be described as selective breeding(and what makes it "feel right"?). Selective breeding is a method to achieve the same aims as eugenics (the original method). No ones telling you it's wrong to pick and choose your mates - just mentioning that if we're looking to include things in eugenics..selective breeding goes in there too. Selective breeding -was- a component of that last infamous eugenics program, after all...eh?
