"The principle of procreative beneficence (PPB) holds that parents or single reproducers are at least prima facie obliged to select the child, out of a range of possible children they might have, who will be likely to lead the best life."
I want to share something that pisses the hell out of me.
A group of Marxists have forced Caltech to change its main library's name of Milliken, claiming the founder of Caltech was a eugenicist. In its early days, Robert Milliken was its first president. In the 1930s he was a trustee of the Human Betterment Foundation. Later, in appreciation of the many good things he did, the campus library was named after him.
However, these same Marxists attacking what Millken did 90 years ago are very pro-abortion because it serves their goal of killing off excess population. The hypocrisy is clear. And these same people champion the idea of genetic screening and action to produce enhanced humans by DNA splicing. I feel that will lead to a caste system wherein enhanced people have status over unenhanced people.
Now you might ask, what does that mean for unenhanced people in ghettos? - A lifetime of permanent underclass. So the liberal arguments aim at a society that will end up with upper classes and underclasses. A dictator's dream, using biological engineering to create a socially engineered society.
At the same time, the Marxists are diluting academic ability under the guise of equity for the less able. Caltech now is saturated with SJW administration and has turned into an anti-white American place - most of the faculty and students are now non-white, non-American. Faculty web CVs present their pronouns. The admissions director is a black lesbian SJW hired from a liberal college, and she has championed removing testing as a way to evaluate candidates for the school. This is a form of academic eugenics in disguised form.
