Many dream of a "perfected" society through the use of eugenics. The science of eugenics is not the real issue, as it already exists. The real issue in eugenics is poor judgment or the lack of any judgment whatsoever. The future of the human race's biological state is being left to the Political Correctness Police and the ramifications are horrifying. Any field where "social science" seeks to meddle with the affairs of genuine, empirically-grounded science is bound to be sullied to the degree where it almost becomes necessary to disinvent it.
Case in point: It was recently revealed that a so-called "perfect donor" to a sperm bank was not only a degenerate scumbag, but that his material had been used to father 36 children.
A man billed as a "perfect donor" by a sperm bank turned out to be a mentally ill felon whose lies on his donor application weren't uncovered for more than a decade, according to families who are now terrified for their children's futures.
On its website, Georgia-based firm Xytex described Donor 9623 as a completely healthy man with an IQ of 160 who was working on a PhD in neuroscience engineering, the Toronto Star reports.
In reality, he was college dropout Chris Aggeles, a 39-year-old man who has been diagnosed with bipolar and narcissistic personality disorders and schizophrenia and has spent time in prison for burglary.
His sperm was used to create at least 36 children in Canada, the US, and the UK between 2000 and 2014. Families discovered his identity after Xytex accidentally included his name in an email and they Googled his name.
When will the real scientists stop bowing to the political correctness of the false "social scientists" and finally admit that all of the "personality disorders" are genetic and hereditary just like bipolar mood disorder and schizophrenia personality disorder? If functional MRI's on the brains of those with the various disorders can distinguish between those disorders, how can they NOT be genetic and largely hereditary? If it can be traced through empirical means it can be controlled scientifically. However, while we produce tons of genetically-modified organisms, we choose to ignore important things, like disorders of the human brain that very obviously can be expurgated from the coding sequence.MRI's can even be used to distinguish between the three specific brain abnormalities of "serial killers" versus the white collar sociopaths' two specific abnormalities.
We hold life to be sacred, but we also know the foundation of life consists in a stream of chemically-based codes that can easily be modified. Why then cannot we cut one code short here, and start another there? Is life so fragile that it can withstand no tampering? Does the sacred brook no improvement? We must re-define the Sacred, and that must wait for another episode of this blog. The bottom line, however, is that genes are not Word documents. This means you can't, for example, cut and paste "the genes for the color blue" into a man and get a blue man. There are no genes for blue. Genes are chemical complexes. Thus, we can in theory splice one person's chemical ability to resist cyanosis (a condition caused by lack of oxygen in the blood that turns the skin a bluish hue) into another person's coding sequence and thus propagate a specimen with a bloodstream that is more oxygen rich.
Perhaps the only way to ensure that catastrophes like this do not happen in the future is to de-fund or under-fund the social sciences in order to prevent them from meddling in the real, hard sciences, thus preventing another 36 offspring of a mad-dog killer. Eugenics is feasible and desirable, but it can allow for no tampering from the "politically correct". I myself have heart disease, diabetes, and a family history of cancer and other diseases. I have chosen never to father biological offspring because of this. I owe it to the future to contain these biological weaknesses and ensure that they go no further than me. The same should have been done with Mr. Aggeles. Many mental diseases are indeed genetically transferrable. The doctrine of equality ceases to be feasible when it means that a felon is going to be allowed to spread his unfortunate tendencies throughout the human gene pool. Not everyone is worthy of reproduction. It's that simple.
