California Prison System Carried Out Eugenics Program (guess the year!)

Uhm no.

In this system only my murder would be sanctioned as justice.

I was surprised, reading the featured text, that I was not utterly appalled by the content.

I mean, and I will paraphrase here, "I felt like they were telling me that I was a bad mom, while I was in jail for 2 years, away from my five children, and it is wrong for them to tell me I can't have more."  IS IT?! Is it wrong? It doesn't seem like the choices you've made this far have been particularly responsible.

That doesn't give anyone the right to perform surgery against the inmates' will, sure. But isn't the implication that the doctors counseled the patient, and the patient agreed to the procedure? If the inmates now REGRET their decision to sterilize, isn't it just one more thing, likely on a long list of things, on which they look back with regret?

Yeah I'm inclined to agree that sterilization should be offered as an option to any woman who has several children and probably won't be able to support them without assistance. But I don't like the idea of your doctor in prison pressuring you to do it over and over again as it's probably not very easy to say no in that situation.

Are you saying that the complete elimination of IQs under 75 in future generations would not be beneficial?

Well not the complete elimination then, but the average IQ of the world would increase by quite a bit.

I am fairly high up on the ladder from a genetic standpoint

plus ça change....

Well there's no doubt that the complete elimination of low IQs in future generations would be beneficial. I'm just not sure that there's any ethical way to make it happen.

That latter sentence is pretty much the issue in a nutshell. No one is objective enough or some kind of deity so they should probably just shut their mouth about it.

God, there's something about the all lower caps that really makes that comment land.

All I know is I saw this one dude bragging about how many dudes he'd prison raped, and saying stuff like "if I want that ass, I take it," and while I did bust out laughing because I am an asshole I also thought "hahaha, that guy needs his dick and balls removed."
