proven to be particularly damaging to society in every case

So... no eugenics for any diseases, then, I guess. WTH is "particularly damaging to society in every case"? Even something like CF would not fairly meet that criteria. Sickle cell wouldn't meet it. Even schizophrenia wouldn't meet it.

Schizophrenia and other genetic diseases are always damaging.

Edit: Schizophrenia isn't genetic, but BettysBitterButter claimed it was so I included it in my argument.

Schizophrenia isn't genetic. It has a genetic component but even though most schizophrenics don't have children, the percentage in the population stays stable. It can also be controlled with medication.

The person I was responding too said it was, so I just included it in my argument. I'll edit in a disclaimer though.
