It’s a little weird the way that natural selection has evolved. It used to be “survival of fittest” and those that could not find their own food or fend for themselves would die. Now that’s not as much as an issue but the natural selection still occurs in other ways. Single women are selecting sperm to have children from online databases, selecting the ones with the best test scores, athleticism, etc (New York Times: “Wanted: A Few Good Sperm”). People are already genetically screening their children and not having any that have significant diseases (New York Times: “A Wrongful Birth?”). Soon people will probably be genetically engineering their children to be more perfect before they are born.

At some point in this chain we have to have gone too far, right?
