interestingly enough chromosomal abnormalities may be a huge driving force in evolution. i really wish i could remember all of this in proper detail, but i can't, so you get the squeegee version: So, like, you've got humans all over the place and there's Downs all over the place, and downs babies are all the same. they even all have that same mongoloid look, ok?
so, now we go back a few hundred thousand years or whatever and you've got homo habilis or whoever, and what if their Down's baby proved to have great benefits? the benefits would eventually spread rapidly through the population, faster than random mutation. also, because it's not a mutation, and really like a transcription error (or what-the-fuck ever), it wouldn't matter the external selective pressures. a homo habilis down's baby in the sahara would be the same as a homo habilis down's baby in europe.
and look at some of the crazy abilities people with chromosomal abnormalities like down's syndrome can have, like super memory and visual recall and some are highly skilled with numbers and can do insta-math in their abnormal brain.
lot's of errors get made during the process of reproduction if i remember correctly. some bigger than others.
but sexual reproduction with it's retards, and random mutation with it's retards
are what turned a stinking pile of goo 3.5 billion years ago,
into kate upton today. a horrible mutant freak by ancient goo standards.
the best you could do is hold back the advancement of nature,
eugenics would prevent anything good from ever spreading through the gene pool.

Eugenics is retarded anyway. Thanks.

Eugenics is subjective. Seeking to destroy physical human characteristics the eugenicists don't like. It is biased and evil.
Transhumanism is objective. Seeking to destroy all human characteristics with the single exception of consciousness. It's objective and equitable.
