Arguments Against Eugenics

Eugenics is defined as a science that tries to improve the human race by controlling which people become parents. I believe that the government should not be allowed to see if future children have good or bad genes. In the past we have seen a nation try to do this to others, and that nation is Germany. Hitler only wanted a certain type of people to be on this earth, and he killed off everybody else that he believed did not have good genes. The question is, is history going to repeat itself? Even though eugenics can improve someone’s life, the government should not be allowed to decide if future children have good or bad genes because we are not completely sure what is necessary and what is not and you are altering something that was naturally
From a Christian standpoint, God made everyone and each and every person is unique in their own way. Also, in the pledge of allegiance it says that we are ‘one nation under God’, so would that mean the government would be going against our ancestors Christian morals? This country was based on Christian morals, so what would our ancestors think of this?

Well, I would tell my opponent many things, but first off I would tell them that eugenics is unethical. I would argue and say that we were created naturally, so we should be able to develop naturally as well, opposed to having our genetics being changed. I would ask my opponent if they know how dangerous these procedures are? How do they know that eugenics will affect our population in a positive way? Eugenics could actually end up being bad for the human race because we could possibly be removing genes that help us, and we don’t even know
