Should parents be allowed to use Eugenics to select specific traits for their children

**__WHAT IS EUGENIC__****__S__**

Eugenics is a study of genetic improvement of humans by controlling selective breeding. Eugenics can improve the human qualities like how you want your kid’s hair and eye colour to be. But the reason why people are against eugenics is because people think that it is messing with nature.

(Sir Francis Galton) **__WHO DISCOVER EUGENICS__** In 1883 Sir Francis Galton was the man who discovers the term and developed the first eugenic policies

**__ IS EUGENICS A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING? __** This question has been asked by a lot of people. Selecting specific traits or also know as 'making a designer baby' is making your child look exactly what you want it to look like and even what gender it is. But is this a good thing or a bad thing? Is it really worth the money or should we just let nature handle it.

__**The Positive Of Eugenics**__


 * parents can make sure their kids don’t get their bad qualities

__**The Negative Of Eugenics**__
 * people could look the same
 * they could be less red hair than brown or blond
 * it is messing with nature

**Galton's theory** Selective breeding was suggested as far back as plato, at least. He believed that the government should control human reproduction. He recorded these views in his famous dialogue, "The Republic". "The best men must come in contact, therefore have intercourse with the best women as frequently as possible, and the opposite are identified as the very lower-grade". Plato proposed for the selection to be performed by a fake lottery only so people 's feelings wouldn't be hurt by any awareness of selection principles. Other ancient examples include the city of Sparta's mythical practice of leaving weak babies outside some of the citys borders to die.

The word eugenics comes from the greek word 'well born' was discovered by Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charled Darwin who developed the first theory of a Naturalistic mechanim for evolution. **__ Bibliography __** [] [] [] []
