Eugenics has two strands (negative and positive). Many people are offended by the negative (stopping the "undesirable" from having children), but I haven't met too many people who are offended by the "desirable" choosing to have more children.
This is all tangential to my post.
- greglindahl 8y agoIt's not tangential to me, and yes, I'm totally offended by both strands. I used to date the author of the "Darwin Awards" website and books, and I've spent a lot of time interacting with the general public about these concepts.
- danieltillett 8y agoWhy are you offended by people choosing to have children? Seems rather strange to me, but I guess the world is a big place.
- greglindahl 8y agoI am not. I’m offended by eugenics, no matter how you phrase it. Having children is not eugenics.
- danieltillett 8y agoYou said you were offended by both positive and negative eugenics? Mind explaining how?
