Eugenics
It is one of the most important social and philosophical movements. It claims that reproduction of desired population should be encouraged while undesired traits should be discouraged. These desired traits are known as the positive eugenics. This practice is promoted by some scientists, biologists, politicians, social reforms and businessmen. Mostly people who are considered to be inferior intellectually and physically are targeted for sterilization. Traits (poverty, criminality and shiftlessness) that make a society unpleasant for living must be eliminated by using eugenic.
Use of eugenics for removing past mistakes
Benefits from both medical procedures and scientific researchers could be achieved both humanely and ethically. In United States, government assures before implementing a scientific procedure whether it is ethically acceptable or not. By making use of the latest technologies mistake of past could eliminated by screening the embryos. This fact cannot be denied that one of the main purposes of this movement is to stop the reproduction of all those individuals who are becoming burden for the society (Camporesi,et,al,2018). Screening of the embryos would indicate if there would be any physical problem. Genetic technologies could be used for selecting and producing the superior beings and would check production of undesired individuals. It would help in making this society a better place to live. It is the best way of controlling a gender and producing better individuals. Mistakes of past could be avoided or eliminated when a society is filled with individuals with desired traits.
