are you saying that all the people are meant to have intellectual jobs?
are you saying that we don't need any farmers, nor factory workers?

My opinion is that heredity is an underrated factor because it leads to uncomfortable questions. It's nice to believe everybody is born with the same abilities to be a physicist or a doctor or lawyer and that it's just peoples'
environments that make the difference. And yes, environment matters too but heredity is also very important.
No I'm not. I'm saying the birthrate in first world nations for women in the higher academic and professional positions is not even at replacement levels.
There is no evidence for genetic correlation between those things. To me, it's just a way to ignore and explain away social inequalities as biologically immutable. It's the same as biological racism but with a different "target". It's nonsense.
Heredity matters greatly and I know that's not a socially popular idea at this time. For example, see identical twin studies where they are separated shortly after birth.
Identical twins share the same DNA, so that's not a good example. You're ignoring the impact of society.

How can breeding into blacks or Asians blonde hair be a good thing?
You misunderstand. That's why they do identical twin separated at birth (placed in different homes or institutions) studies because that makes them the PERFECT example. The heredity is the same and only their environment differs.

Some black people naturally have blond hair without the input of whites.
You had missed the point I was making.
Does one grow up in poverty and the other one grow up middle class or rich? Do they share all the same advantages and disadvantages?
Which is?
It varies in each case of twins making it more interesting to study.

Who should have the authority to breed specific characteristics in or out? What characteristics should be considered? To what extent should the authorities go to? What should be done with people who exist now with undesirable characteristics? If a bad apple can spoil the bunch, wouldnt it be in societys best interest to eliminate the spoiled apple? Doesnt the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?
Can you post some studies?
well...I don't think so. This famous Swedish man refused to have children with this woman, (his wife) because she was Mediterranean
Is that picture from the '80s or something? That guy is no natural blond. Look at his roots.
Thank God. The world is overpopulated
from the nineties. Yes, he's natural blond. The hair root is always darker than the rest of the hair. Even in brunettes.

This Swede has a red headed, blue eyed, Scotsman, - and a very handsome darker skinned, dark haired. hazel eyed, Frenchman. Why discriminate?

This is my question. As I said could one could argue a presupposition for violence and crime is a diease of society. Governments already take children away from violent families. Some eugenics societies of the past believed that crime could be bred out of humanity. What about the views that homosexuality is a disease? Could homophobes use this as an argument to bred this "disease" out of humanity? What is we find a/the genetic cause of homosexuality? Could a parent not demand treatment to prevent their children from suffering a life of being second class citizens, depending on nation, subject to discrimination.
