This Woman Will Decide Which Babies Are Born
(www.wired.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You really should read your own sources.
(my apologies for the quite literal translation I can't be arsed but an AI will do much, much worse on that kind of dense language).
Note the completely neutral actual definition, nothing about race after "denotes". If you scroll past all the racist history to the section 'modern form of eugenics" you see a brief section about abortion, of pre-implantation diagnostics being considered (by some at least) to be eugenics, then next short section on trans- and post-humanist ethics also containing eugenics as a major theme.
I'm not deep into that area either but I don't think racial themes are common among transhumanists.
I don't have access to the book wikipedia cites, but, well:
So not only does wikipedia misquote the source, the source shouldn't be bloody cited in the first place because it contradicts itself within the span of two sentences: If there's a distinction, they aren't synonymous. Mostly that stuff is just not talked about at all in the public discourse, I'd be very sceptical about inferring any distinctions from practically non-existent use of those terms.
"respectively in Germany mostly synonymous with" also doesn't make any sense, really. Semantically speaking: Respectively to what? German uses the word all the time this is a very very sloppy use I can't make heads and tails of what it's actually intended to mean.
Are we actually arguing about the use of the word in Germany, though. All, literally all I actually said about my opinion on the issue is, I quote:
That's all. Literally all. That's my opinion on the matter. If you want to criticise something, criticise that, don't go off on tangents.
So now you're saying your source is useless and not to be trusted? I mean, it's Wikipedia, I'm not surprised. But your original assertion that the Nazis weren't into Eugenics is still dead in the water. It formed the basis of their racial theories.
I was citing that article for a particular reason: To show that the Greek word exists in the German language. Here, have another source.
I NEVER FUCKING SAID THAT. And you're taking that baseless libel back, right fucking now. Don't you fucking dare call me a Nazi fucking apologist I wouldn't even be alive had my grandfather had a single Jewish grandparent more.
I said they weren't into the word, but preferred ones that were a) not Greek b) German and c) included "race" in some way.
