The movie Gattica was amazingly accurate in that the brother who was natural born had a heart defect - but could out-swim, outfight, and out-think his lackluster “test tube” brother - who was bred to be “nonviolent”.

Like Socialism to Free-Markets, Eugenics thinks they know better than “the market” what is desired and desirable - but they are wrong. Humans bred to be “nonviolent” will simply not have the same drive to succeed as a normal “violent” human.

Moreover that is the future that a Eugenic State would want - humans bred for compliance and nonviolence.

That would hardly be a “superior” human. We Americans would eat their lunch, drink their milkshake, and laugh at their nonviolent response.

You give America too much credit.

The liberal Democrats in America are always seeking to control citizen's lives from womb to tomb - what they eat, what they do, what they think, the words they use, etc.

Jeepers they used political pressure through the CDC to the local doctors to gather information on guns in the homestead!

Give them a genetic manipulation that can make men docile and they'll sell it under the auspices of reducing crime.

The Gattica world can happen right here with liberals in control.

Or, since you seem fond of quoting Mein Kampf, let's compare your statement to the paragraph *before* the one you cherry-picked to associate Hitler with Creationism:

The favourable preliminary to this improvement is not to mate individuals of higher and lower orders of being but rather to allow the complete triumph of the higher order. The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature. Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel, and if he does so it is merely because he is of a feebler nature and narrower mind; for if such a law did not direct the process of evolution then the higher development of organic life would not be conceivable at all.

Cute.
