Modern day Eugenicists should be ashamed of themselves

     As societies began ensuring greater equality of opportunity, to that very degree they select out young people of ability to pursue career interests over reproduction. At the same time, at the other end of the spectrum, welfare programs provide incentives to young women of low ability to regard reproduction as a greater source of income than employment. The result, eugenicists argue, is a doomed, dysgenic society (i.e., one destructive of genetic patrimony).
     At its root, eugenics is an interdisciplinary conceptualization of the genetic consequences of social practices for current human and future. Applied to animals, it would not be controversial. The counter-response was (and still is) an unspoken denial that human evolution is an ongoing process: hybridization has supposedly eliminated subspecies, so that the fundamental human genotype is now claimed to be virtually immutable, with only trivial intraspecies variation existent. Even while conceding that humankind is indeed the product of evolution, proponents of human particularism assume that human beings are the one species no longer affected by that process.
     Humanity, they argue, is the issue of a single African woman (‘Eve’), and any subsequent or future human evolution is only ‘skin deep.’ Eugenicists tend to be skeptical of this view, which they regard as rooted more in wishful thinking than in objective science.  Their model of human evolution is similar to that of the dog, which was bred independently in different places at different times from various subspecies of wolf. Most of that diversity is between African populations. Even if it could be proved that a human ‘Eve’ actually existed, 150,000 years of evolution in isolated groups living under the most diverse conditions has produced enormous inter and intra-group diversity, which is a great resource but also a disability when it takes the form of genetic illness, low intelligence, or lack of altruism.
     Human ecology does not limit itself to the present population but defines society as the entire human community over time; we should act as nature’s stewards, and simple parental responsibility mandates self-restraint. Thus modern eugenics goes hand in hand with neo-Malthusian thinking, which views the current global population as already exceeding the planet’s long term carrying capacity, and is generally opposed to the view of a Julian Simon (1932-1998), who dismissed concerns regarding overpopulation, resource exhaustion, and global pollution.
     Positive eugenics refers to approaches intended to raise fertility among the genetically advantaged. These include such genetic techniques as in vitro fertilization, egg transplants, and cloning ̧ and also ways to encourage use of those techniques, for example, targeted demographic analyses and financial and political stimuli.

You can't always expect to think that the general public with always have blind eyes to some truths in history, whether these truths are unattractive or attractive for the general public once the general public has knowledge of these new found truths

     Did Western European nations and the U.S. think that negative public opinion and bad publicity of their Eugenics practices, sterilizations of the mentally ill, mentally defective, and feeble minded would never arise, and come back to haunt them, (that is, the policy makers, physicians, and law makers that created such a culture of hate and evil in the U.S. Germany, U.K.), or did they seem to think that their works would always go unnoticed with medical records forever remaining in the basements of medical universities and hospitals?
     The answer to this question is simple:  With the occurrence of modern computing technology as it is today and the internet at the size that it is, and the types of highly sophisticated computer hacks to many governments, institutions, universities, hospitals, corporations, --databases, once always safe and secure from leaks to the general public, are now continuously at risk, and many talented hackers have hacked many once classified databases that have secret or top secret records, and have published websites such as Wikileaks and the general public of the entire world has been enlightened to these top secret records and have been made aware of events that have occured from these document leaks, such as the practices of Dianetics, The Church of Scientology, Eugenics practices that occurred after World War 2 in not only Germany but with high numbers of cases in the United States with the last case of sterilization of a mental patient occurring in the year 1979.
