    Can you breed a dog? Can you breed a cat? Can you breed a Horse? Can you breed a Bird? Can you breed a Snake? Can you breed a Spider? Can you breed a Fish?

    HUMANS ARE NO DIFFERENT

    I’m not claiming its Right to do, JUST THAT IT’S POSSIBLE

      except that breeding two scientists does not make a child who’s good at science in the same way breeding two robust dogs makes another.

        well that’s true for other animals as well. The “objectionable” part is the controlled breeding. If you were to single out the smart ones that DID excell and made them have kids eventually you would start to see results. But indeed, that is the rub. It’s wrong to force that sort of thing upon people with out their consent. That’s why Eugenics doesn’t work, not because the theory is unsound.

            Then you are afflicted with anthroexceptionalisim. We are animals. We obey the same rules of genetics. You are categorically incorect.
