There are many afflictions which are hereditary. We typically don’t go about saying how finding treatments that allow these people to live at all or live improved lives inflicts the possibility of further establishing the affliction in a population into the future. I mean this comes off as kind of close to a eugenic attitude, although not quite there.

I’d be okay with some sort of disclosure for future partners as we’d be for many things of this nature.

I think enforcing any sort of eugenic policies would also be unethical including the forced disclosure of the medical procedures we are discussing.

It's hard for me to believe something is wrong and shouldn't be done while simultaneously believing it should not be prevented with policy.

We need to evolve the ability to uncover deception with our minds and prevent betrayal innately. Those who can do that possess gifts that will reward the successful species in the very long term.

As it is, we are unable to detect and prevent it as a society and we need that skill. I admire it in those I know who have it. I wish I was better at it.

You do get people complaining, with no apparent irony, about how modern medicine weakens the human race by allowing unfit people to reproduce, often with an extremely broad definition of "unfit". Idiocracy will be invariably be mentioned.

And then they get offended when you say that's eugenics.
