[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]The sperm bank angle is an interesting one - I knew that PhD's and top athletes got more money for it, but it'd simply never crossed my mind that this could be interpreted as eugenics. That said, I don't think a little genetic engineering/eugenics in the benign sense would really hurt us all that much. It's the old cliche - now that civilization has effectively removed most forms of natural selections, and those with less education (although there is obviously no 1:1 correlation with intelligence) breed significantly more often . . . it would seem like we have a genetic crisis on our hands. If we've artificially removed natural selection, perhaps the best course would be to artificially reimpose it? posted by Ryvar at 6:21 PM PST on March 20 [/quote]
