To let nature to keep the human (and general) gene pool clean by allowing natural selection to remove those unfit to survive.
Nature should be allowed to do its job of killing off the weak, and sickly and ignorant people, without interference from airbags and batting helmets. Just think of it as passive eugenics, okay?

Get the Passive eugenics mug.A movement that seeks to improve the human species. And with the main or one of the main goals to improve I.Q. Modern eugenics has nothing to do with race. It is a scientific fact that there are people of high I.Q.s in all races. Eugenics was given a bad name in WWII by the nazis who really used unscientific ideas and methods and was really just an excuse put farward to murder the jews. Modern eugenics seeks to use selective breeding and genetic engineering to improve humans.
Many in the modern eugenics movement point to low human I.Q. as a major factor in humans being unable to solve the world problems.

Eugenics are the practice of isolating negative genes, and preserving positive ones, whether through natural or social selection. Several attempts have been made, throughout history, to do such, with human intervention - all were short-lived, but none succeeded. Such methods toward eugenics are: genocide, bioengineering or genetic manipulation, and selective breeding.
Through natural selection, random or adaptive mutations occur. If positive, in theory, the traits should prosper. If negative, or not beneficial, however, they should fade away, if the family possessing these genes doesn't die away before then.
With human intervention, this is accelerated - the isolation of carriers of certain DNA can be achieved without blood shed, simply if no other group interbreeds, or if such a group discontinues populating. However, more macabre means can be undertaken to reach this, such as genocide. Still, yet, there are further, and possibly more promising methods, such as genetic manipulation, for carriers of such a trait could be "cured," rather than phased out, or exterminated, altogether.
Examples in history, involving humans, include: murder, en mass, of American Indians; the Holocaust (1933 - 1945); the Balkans ethnic cleansing (Bosnia, Kosovo, primarilly); Rwanda; Sudan; etc.

Ahh, eugenics - something that hasn't happened for quite a while. However, I feel it should. This could, quite possibly, benefit the human race, for without dumbshits, we should prosper much longer. Unfortunately, though, it seems the degenerates breed more, and faster, than do the good ones among humanity. 'Tis a shame, truly. Have no misconceptions, however, as I don't wish for races to be exterminated, but rather, unfavorable genes removed.

Get the eugenics mug.The act of improving the human gene pool by encouraging those with positive genetic traits to reproduce. This differs from general eugenics in that it doesn't involve death, punitive measures, or the discouragement of those with negative traits from reproducing.

Get the Passive Eugenics mug.A movement that seeks to make humans more beautiful and has nothing to do with race because there are babes and hunks in all races. It would be done by selective breeding and genetic engineering.
One mothod would be to bave a bank for eggs and sperm where babes can store there eggs and hunks there sperm so they can have more babies.

Get the Aesthetic eugenics movement mug.A speculative concept referring to the application of eugenic principles to cognition—the idea of selecting, engineering, or enhancing cognitive abilities to produce "superior" minds while eliminating "inferior" cognitive profiles. Cognitive eugenics encompasses everything from IQ-based reproductive selection to neural enhancement technologies to the hypothetical elimination of cognitive disability. The term forces recognition that the desire to "improve" human cognition shares logical structure with eugenics: the identification of desirable traits, the classification of some minds as deficient, and the project of engineering future populations. Critics argue that cognitive eugenics masks its normative assumptions—that certain cognitive styles are superior, that variation is defect, that some minds shouldn't exist—behind the language of enhancement and progress.
Example: "He advocated for cognitive enhancement as human progress. She called it cognitive eugenics—not to dismiss enhancement, but to ask: who decides which minds are worth having?"
