Do you believe that liberal eugenics is morally acceptable?

1 Answer

Answer :

I can see an immediate problem with this. And that involves a component of classicism. The rich will be able to afford this procedure and the poor will not. Thus making the children of the rich smarter and better looking, more athletic and less prone to disease. While the children from poor families will have none of the above. It just creates more reasons to discriminate from one another. Just my immediate thoughts on the idea.
