The fat of the land has never been fatter. Does that figure into the question of ethical eugenics?
I am fine with eugenics policies. But to avoid them being macabre I would suggest simply sterilizing people who are genetically unfit. The same idea Francis galton had and the policy we used successfully in the usa for decades. That is the proper way to address the issue imo.Cannonpointer » 26 Jun 2022, 3:01 pm » wrote: ↑ I would take it farther.

Here is what I believe. I believe we should ax ourselves what our NATURAL rights are that we can delegate. On account of the framers said that all JUST powers are derived from (meaning, delegated by) the governed. A bear won't eat what a bear can't smell - and a citizen can't delegte what a citizen doesn't have.
Now, I have a natural right to stop thievin and killin - but I feel no natural right to tell stranger she has to take her pregnancy to term, and she ain't allowed to take any measures to end it. Since I don't see me HAVIN' that right, I don't see me DELEGATNG it.

If the duty of the state is to dictate to a woman she must nanny, that is literally a nanny state.
if it is the duty of the state to protect the unborn, why is this duty abdicated the moment the baby is Born? Is a 3 day old no less innocent and vulnerable than a Fetus?

I think abortion is one of those things. Clearly, we have a regulatory interest that we can delegate. Society doesn't have to put up with the spectacle of women who are big pregnant resorting to gruesome late term butchery. But unless you believe you have a right to dictate what a pregnant woman can eat and drink, you can't really stop women from off-loading unwanted pregnancies.

Unless you're suggesting abstinence. Abstinence **** with pussvailability.

which life, what death?
And women can make a man responsible if that's their choice. Although there have been cases when that didn't work legally.Cannonpointer » 26 Jun 2022, 5:45 pm » wrote: ↑ Well, we've already had mask mandates. We could have jimmy hat mandates.
