Incidentally, I'm blown away a drunk post I made years ago is still running.

It's not running. No one had posted anything in over a year here. Start necroing. Also, honest to God eugenics is evil. I'm not saying that I want there to be more disabled people nor am I saying that I don't want to see humanity improve as a whole. But there is no ethical way for humans to enact eugenics.
 
Many Autistic people (for example) have non autistic parents. Chris Chan had two neurologically normal parents and that is hardly usual.

This makes the use of Eugenic's to get rid of Autism and many of its cousin conditions (think fragile x ect.) impossible. Many of these conditions aren't even genetic, not entirely, no one knows what brings them on and why a doctor-lawyer couple can produce a severely Autistic, mentally retarded kid.

Well I mean you could kind of see where Chris Chan's problems came from. He was born to very old parents and as you get older your gametes become more corrupted. Iirc there is a genuine correlation between the age of the mother and how likely the child is to have developmental issues.
