Lack of eugenic measures
- Lack of eugenics
- Insufficient intervention in human evolution
- Discrimination against eugenics
- Active prejudice towards selective breeding of humans
Nature
In the absence of eugenic measures, persons suffering serious hereditary diseases, with a high risk of transmitting them to their children, are not discouraged from having children.
Claim
Genetic counselling procedures would not be effective in the case of persons suffering from high-grade mental retardation which is of special importance due to its frequency, and some form of enforcement may be required.
Counter-claim
Eugenic measures will never cause hereditary diseases or disabilities to disappear completely. Spontaneous mutations, the coming together of heterozygous carriers of recessive conditions, and other factors will always bring about new cases.
