I of course do not support or advocate for eugenics. Do you?
WL. ^^^^^ CB: I support genetic engineering that would cure genetically based blindness, cancer, heart disease or other universally recognized diseases. See below CB: I can't say that I subscribe to any "old" eugenics theories, but not all eugenics theories are based on the notion that there are better and lesser races. Today there is a potential for genetic engineering. If there are forms of genetically based blindness from birth, and there is discovered a way to prevent that genetically based blindness, to prevent it would not be racist or a bad thing in general. Some forms of cancer, heart disease and other pretty much universally recognized diseased conditions have genetic components to their etiologies. Nothing wrong with curing these through genetic engineering The notiion that it is preferable to be sighted than blind does not entail a notion that the sighted and blind constitute two different races. Same with cancered or not cancered , or heart diseased or not heart diseased. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
