I wasn't talking about evolution, I just meant for reducing suffering in general.

Yea, you're right. Reproduction by definition involves other people however. That's how I rationalize that.

Lots of people follow their instincts without thinking, that is a lot of the problem with the world.

hmmm

I wonder who's really holding humanity back, people who are born with genetic disorders - or people who think those who are born with genetic disorders shouldn't be born

the evolution of humanity is already beyond physical evolution. what needs to evolve is our consciousness. do you really think its morally right to decide who can have children and who can't? is one human worth so much more than another that they have the right to make this decision onto another?

is a disabled human worth less?
