  None? > Much of Lasker's work and commentary focuses on race and IQ, and he has promoted eugenics.

    So talking about eugenics in a positive way equals racist commentary? I have a genetic mutation (de novo) that leads to a disability and that I don't want to pass on. Natural approach: Die, due to the lack of therapeutic modalities. No chance of offspring. With the help of medicine, I am alive. Now, to prevent passing on mutated genes but still have children, I could use something like IVF and reproductive genetics. This is textbook eugenics(?) Obviously I disapprove of the stereotypical eugenics of the century. Ranging from Germans murdering disabled children to Danes forcing Greenland women on birth control.

      Given that humanity has had a bad track record discussing eugenics positively, yes.

      Yes, culling the population by any means to select for the “intelligent” population is highly subjective and will result in racist outcomes.
