One thing I would like to say is always that before buying more computer system memory, take a look at the machine in which it is installed. In case the machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the actual memory limit is 3.25GB. Setting up greater than this would easily constitute some sort of waste. Make sure that one’s motherboard can handle the particular upgrade amount, as well. Good blog post.

I just found this article, and I’m doing a speech on the idea/ practice of controlled eugenics. Are there any good websites where I can get legitimate information on the subject?

I agree with how Jockira put it.
I chose not to have children, and rather to focus on other areas of betterment in society with my work and endeavors. I have felt there are plenty of other people better than I to have children of their own bearing.
Leave it to the beautiful people, physically and mentally, to bear children.
Physical beauty and character both matter, and yes, some differences make things interesting.
Physical beauty truly inspires, when it’s genuine, not ‘bolt on’.
Also keep in mind, we’ve got nearly 7 billion people. Think of the whole Earth environment/habitat, quality of living, and sustainability. So, let’s get a little more careful about who chooses to bear children.
It’s such a shame that, for example, Mexican culture is so hell bent on ‘everyone’ of their culture bearing children, and making large trashy mess cultures and environments.
Yet look at the classic Swedes and their culture, – refinement and beauty in so many ways.
Also, all races/cultures can make beautiful people, and all races/cultures can and do make ‘ugly’ people.

Simply, eugenics is the matching of selected parents for desirable heritable traits with the projected result being offspring displaying those traits. Anything else called eugenics is either politics or unfounded wishful thinking and has the potential to be morally reprehensible.

Human husbandmen and agriculturalists have been using that basic principle successfully for thousands of years to achieve desired animal and plant expressions. The application of eugenics has always been difficult in humans because of indwelling prejudices of race, culture, contemporary standards, etc.

Moral eugenics does not include forced sterilisation, forced euthanasia, or political disenfranchisement. Contemporary eugenics has its most common expression in gene therapy and thoughtful selection of marriage partners.

The current prejudicial condemnations of eugenics are unfortunate because they deprive humanity of certain methods for improving the basic lot of human life.

Ugly parents should refrain from having children. It’s a worthy contribution to the human race, which due to their restraint will get better looking until the boundary of novel mutations is reached.

I always wondered, if Albert Einstein’s sperm was available for donation, what would the parents do if they got a daughter with Albert’s looks but not his intelligence? Or a kid with Einstein’s genius who turned out to be a sociopath?

Eugenics it is. Interestingly enough a listener of mine has already commented on this type of ‘match making’ …

i think it depends on how ugly you are. i think judging from wealth/famous people who aren’t good looking who marry attractive people (usually ugly men + attractive women) there’s some definite improvement in the offspring from what you’d expect. OTOH, if you’re close to the median it probably is not worth it.
