>>11047144>science is ...under your definition i would say eugenics is not a science
>What do you mean by this?to create a reliable set of people to infer eugenic decisions from there needs to be a certain level of fairness in relation to the development of traits.
we can say that this level of fairness can be achieved by giving people an upbringing to at least a certain socioeconomic level; access to education, nutrition, etc.
now, we can only use eugenics practically if we can avoid the next situation, which is where for the next generation the people who are in unfair conditions, who statistically perform a greater volume of sex. don't outsize the group of eugenically produced children because then the choice to perform eugenics would actually decrease the proportion of people with 'desirable' traits in the next generation.
realistically this is infeasible because it's a problem of income inequality on a global scale, and even from any microcosm there has never been an income equality distribution that would suffice for eugenics ever. and then you have to bring that to a global scale. it's totally impractical.
