The Pros And Cons Of Practicing Eugenics

Eugenics is the belief that the human population can be enhanced by “breeding” people with desirable traits such as: emotional and physical health, excellent character and superior intellect. Although on the other hand, forcing these who have much less desirable traits which includes, downs syndrome, physical handicaps and different other perceived “limitations” to be sterilized and left unable to have young children.

In my opinion, the practice of eugenics is, in-humane and encroaches on people’s rights as an individual. Think about someone showing up on your doorstep one particular day and saying, “You have been deemed un-match to reproduce, you did not score higher enough on your IQ test.” It’s not correct for some organization to determine whether men and women can reproduce or not. It is the individual’s selection and their right to choose if they want children or not.

Eugenics puts people on the exact same level as an animal. If you feel about it, we breed animals according to what we want their offspring to be like. Say that we have a female horse that is white, and not really as quick as you want her to be, and you want her foal to be brown and rapidly. You would breed her with a quick, brown stallion, and possibilities are, that the foal would be born brown, and grow up to be quickly. What I’m saying is that eugenics is an immoral practice that demeans humans to the point of placing them on the identical level as an animal. It would take away our dignity, our compassion and our fundamental human rights and ought to not be practiced.

Eugenics-For

There are many motives I believe we must practice eugenics. Foremost is that reality that we will have an overall healthier population. Feel about it, we will have the most physically capable of the human population reproducing and in turn, their children will be healthier and it will just preserve getting greater and the quality of the population as a whole goes up. But if we enable those who are much less physically capable to reproduce, their kids might be born with serious physical limitations, and we don’t want that, we want each citizen to live life to the fullest with a body that will not hold them back due to physical conditions they inherited from their parents. If eugenics is place into practice everybody will lead significantly happier, healthier, fulfilling lives.
