Good arguments for eugenics?

If eugenics WERE possible, one could eliminate destructive genes and eliminate genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or certain types of cancer.

A LIMITED form of eugenics has been performed--a woman with a mitochondrial disease had the nucleus of her egg fertilized, then implanted into the denucleated egg of a healthy woman, so her child would not inheirit that disease.

There are no good arguments for genetics - it turned out to be an unintentional hoax.

Eugenics was conceived by Francis Galton before the laws of inheritance were known. When Gregor Mendel discovered genetic dominance eugenics was complicated but not killed. Even when Thomas Hunt Morgan confirmed the Sutton-Boveri theory that genes were contained on chromosomes the eugenicists refused to admit defeat.

Here is what we know now. Organisms do not inherit characteristics, they inherit particular alleles (variations of genes) on chromosomes that include an average (in humans) of a thousand genes. Genes do not produce distinct characteristics, either; they produce proteins that interact with other proteins to produce an array of effects on the body. There are about 50 genes that affect height, for example. We are nowhere near close to making eugenics work... the mechanics of it are far too complex.

the terrific arguments for eugenics have been those utilized by potential of Progressives in the U.S. and Europe in the beginning up of the twentieth century. the uncomplicated argument replaced into that in view that western international locations welfare courses have been combating evolution from recovering the human race, and in actuality have been reversing the outcomes of evolution by potential of encouraging and helping "inferior races" and "defectives" want and talents to have many toddlers, imaginative businesses (like planned Parenthood) and governments had to step in and the two sterilize by potential of stress (NC did this, uncertain what different US states or different governments) or kill off inferiors or people who could no longer be reformed (Communist u.s., Communist China, Nazi Germany, Vietnam, Cambodia). fortuitously for humanity, those arguments have been thoroughly discredited by using evil of people who argued them.
