IVF Modernizes Ancient Eugenic Practices Of ‘Selective Breeding' |
2024-04-26 |
Snippet: [Federalist] Seneca in the first century CE: "...unnatural progeny we destroy; we drown even children who at birth are weakly and abnormal." Similarly, in ancient Greece, abortion was encouraged to limit the number of children in families, as was infanticide for babies born with deformities. The Spartan society highly valued marriages that would strengthen the genetic excellence of the population, and therefore partners were selected based on traits such as physical fitness. The government would even intervene and arrange marriages or force divorces if the couples were judged unfit for each other and thereby incapable of producing strong offspring. |

#4 The entire process of natural selection (AKA selective breeding) across every species on the planet,(with the modern exception of woke demokrat women) is based on behaviors, appearance, displays by males of the species that demonstrate some aspect of their superiority for breeding and generational success. Humans are no exception, we simply dismiss the idea that somehow females no longer respond to such displays. See today's Kunstler article for an amusing summation of this in current context! |
