  Ah yes, eugenics, that’ll make everything better.

    "Competency tests" is not eugenics. It's not about heritable characteristics. It's similar to requiring an eye test before one can get a driver's licence.

      Driving is privilege, not a right. The outcome of what’s being suggested comes with all the same issues and evils of genetic eugenics. Think of how fucked up things would have to get to even police and enforce such a nightmarish system. It’s absurd.

        For the record, I'm not backing the idea. Just pointing out that it's not eugenics. By the way, everything is a privilege in a modern society governed by laws. The state has the power to take children away from abusive parents. Do we think that's also a violation of a basic human right? Why not?
