What's your opinion on eugenics? by detty in AskSaidIt

any purposeful manipulation of breeding pairs is effectively a eugenics attempt

I really couldn't agree with this premise; one might as well say any pairing by anyone anywhere where one purpose would be good genetic offspring is a eugenics attempt. Any truth to that notion would render a discussion of the pros and cons of an explicit eugenic program meaningless.

The Hapsburgs didn't have a eugenics program. They kept the bloodline narrow as a means to consolidate and maintain power.

I'd say the Habsburgs are more an argument FOR eugenics than AGAINST.

Certain groups with narrower gene pools (e.g. NY hascidim) already often do genetic testing before marriage to check for just these types of recessive disorders.

You wouldn't expect to introduce Habsburgian recessive disorders unless your particular eugenics program was fundamentally faulty.

I don't know if fruits would be good for comparison, since most are relative monocultures.

Human biodiversity is pretty immense, and the list of well-understood genetic defects is pretty long and growing.

One could easily begin breeding out undesirable traits, and if done through incentives, rather than mandates, it could be done without impinging on any individual rights.

I've had good experiences combining my pulls with vinegary southern mustard bbq sauces; the acidity plays off the fattiness well.

What's the cooking method btw? I usually braise then reduce the liquid and reintroduce after pulling, which minimizes the tendency to get dry and stringy.

See now you've moved on to questions completely different from your post title.

Any other questions related to issues of homosexual behavior, public policy towards, or whatever, can be debated, but must draw their conclusions with a foundation in the answer to the first question you asked. What you asked is whether homosexuality is wrong, which it is.

What reasons could there possibly be?

If you know the what an animal is and you know how sexual reproduction works you know that heterosexuality is right and homosexuality is wrong.

The fact that this doesn't make everything clear to you shows how deranged your starting point in asking is.

Start from Homosexuality is clearly wrong and then proceed with the extensions of your reasoning from there.

Heterosexuality is right, homosexuality is wrong; that's the plain and unnecessary explanation.

Anything else on the subject is merely corollary to that.

Well then take this advice: since homosexuality is so obviously and patently wrong you can easily conclude that you have no ability to discern right from wrong on your own. So rather than asking an internet forum to gaslight you into thinking your addiction to mental masturbation is anything but fruitless, find a group that already believes homosexuality is wrong and adopt their code of ethics.

Stick with it for a decade and then you might have developed enough of a conception of right and wrong that you can start again with moral questions that aren't already so obvious.

There's no inconsistency. Bullies rightly identify aberrant behavior that needs correction before adulthood, but the bullying itself is still antisocial behavior that requires correction before adulthood.
