These are the sort of genetic engineering/eugenists I want to see. None of that "deleting gay gene" or "breeding smart people" pseudo science garbage.

I think life would be a little better if we cranked up the gay gene. Y'all know how to party.

Make everyone pansexual. It would simplify a lot of things.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I thought you had to put something in the water for that?

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

That only makes the frickin frogs gay.

All eugenics is pseudoscience garbage.

In that case, let's all marry our cousins and brothers!

It's selective breeding to get certain genetic qualities, which is the definition of eugenics

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

It's avoiding bad outcomes. Babies from closely related people often have problems. Practically every culture has a method of avoiding close relatives breeding

Eugenics is about breeding for desirable qualities, a eugenicist's ideal person still couldn't make good kids with a close relative

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Avoiding bad genetics is desirable. Just because it's normal doesn't mean it isn't eugenics
