Question

After the rediscovery of Mendel’s principles of inheritance in the early
twentieth century, eugenics became popular in many countries,
including the United States. The eugenic movement proposed to
improve the human species through the application of genetics. A
number of eugenic laws were passed, prohibiting the marriage of
people with certain conditions and allowing for the involuntary
sterilization of others. Eventually this practice fell into disfavor
because of ethical concerns and because many of the laws were based
on bad science. Some people think that the increasing use of modern
genetic techniques to test for genetic diseases and traits and to
manipulate reproductive outcomes represents
the resurgence of eugenics. What are some ethical concerns associated
with encouraging the birth of people with desirable traits and
discouraging the birth of those with undesirable traits?
