    AFAIK, predisposition to better "social" traits is not genetic.
    In the 21st century, if you could selectively breed to increase :

    1. problem-solving intelligence
    2. broader resilience to malaise (malaria, skin cancer etc)

    that would benefit humanity as a whole.

    I suspect that advances in medical science means that
    "gene therapy" is probably going to be far more effective/practical
    in the near future in achieving the above, then the "master race"
    schemes of a century ago ever could.

    I do.

    Someone who thinks it’s sound to publish their detailed views on how to employ Nazi style eugenics to mould society should be nowhere near the heart of Govt as an advisor. He should be royally ****ed off. If he’s not, then we might as well accept that Cummings is the actual PM.

    The government has #officially backed his views. The transport secretary said those are "not my views and those are not the views of the government" and the only comment made from the PM was to correct that the transport secretary was only speaking for himself, i.e. those are the views of the government.

    If it's used to eradicate the genetic markers for illnesses in future generations e.g. cancer, asthma, muscular dystrophy then it's all good. Like wiping out smallpox back in th 80's.

    Sadly I can see it leading to determining skin colour, gender, what a select few determine to be inteligent or the 'right social characteristics' of future generations.

    Basically it's like VAR, nice idea but a fcking mess in the wrong people's hands. No thanks.

    BTW who won the pool that the government would start openly discussing eugenics within 3 weeks of #brexit

    I look like a right **** thinking they'd wait until 18 months before dropping that bomb

    Not strictly true. A No.10 spokesperson was asked whether this advisors views are shared by No.10, and they refused to confirm or deny it. Which smacks of Cummings refusing to sack the loon. Johnson needs to tell him to sack him, or **** off himself. He won’t, which tells us all we need to know about the power that Cummings exerts.

    At least we rid ourselves of all those unelected bureaucrats though.

    That’s not what this chap was advocating mate. Mr Sabisky feels that the poor and low IQ should face compulsory contraception. Oh and that blacks are a bit thick.
