Thank you for taking the time. I am just concerned that when an objectionable endeavor is criticized for being based on bad science, it leaves room for the inference that if the science was done better, the endeavor would be acceptable. Thus, my desire to stress the distinction between competence and morality. > I also think there's a useful distinction to be made between the terms "genetics" and "eugenics". Yes, I was thinking of that point. Part of the problem in discussing "eugenics" is that it is commonly used to cover two projects. One is to understand the nature of the inheritance of physical traits, what we call "genetics". The other is to use that understanding to pursue population management, what we call "animal husbandry" in one context.
