Do you think selective breeding would work in humans?

It "works" in every animal. The question is whether or not that would be ethical.

@DDonde isn't it also unethical in animals though xD

@popmol In some cases with animals definitely. In other cases it's harmless.
But with humans you get into the question of human rights and autonomy, as well as questions of deliberate genocide.

@DDonde other cases? you mean like reverse bulldogging? where currently they are trying to bring bulldogs to a healthy none fucked up state?

ooh god killing the other is terrible! thats not a part of this! just saying look you are prone to cancer please do not have kids and pass it on.
if i'd make into law with as humanitarian as possible i'd give money to those in the good group, and give money to those who adopt in the bad side.

@popmol With regards to the question of genocide, I mean "people of ethnicity x are not allowed to breed" and thus die out. Nobody is being killed, but it is still genocide.

@DDonde kinda? genocide is killing not prevention from procreation. it would be if they killed fetusses on mass :p pre natal genocide xD

but against thats ethnicity and thats an o go that's not helpful!

@popmol Genocide is the deliberate wiping out of an ethnic group, not necessarily just mass murder, so that includes restrictions on breeding for a particular group of people.

@DDonde guess that could fit the description but i wouldn't see it such a way xD as it feels more like killing it in concept more
