People are afraid of eugenics and it’s antiquated association to Nazis, but humans practice eugenics everyday.
We select people who are most likely to be within our social class, we select based on appearance and intelligence (and thus, earning potential) or things like height and fertility.
Because genes make up who we are, nearly every filter we create is somehow tied to a person’s genetics. Eugenics doesn’t have to be barbaric and racist.
I’m not calling for genetic based dating to be forced on everyone, or to become law. I’m simply calling for a platform to be built that allows people to come together based on desirable genes and give them the best chance of making genetically gifted children. We owe it to future generations.
Someday, when the technologies are ready and I have more money, I would be glad to form a team and take a shot at building this platform, if someone else hasn’t beaten me to it.
