Eugenics.
I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It's the truth.
My genetics are good, but they aren't crazy He-Man style.
A stronger race will drive out the weaker ones, for the vital urge in its ultimate form will break down the absurd barriers of the so called humanity of individuals to make way for the humanity of nature which destroys the weak to give their place to the strong.

Darwinism is not a sufficient condition for a phenomenon like Nazism but I think it's certainly a necessary one.

My major concern about leaving enhancement to the marketplace is that then the rich will be able to buy themselves genetically superior children and the poor will not - sharpening the class divisions we have now. That problem could be overcome if, genetic enhancement were available to all, subsidized by the state - and that would, over time, have benefits for society as well.

Life is about survival of the fittest, and Jersey is producing the master race.
All else being equal, the guy with the best genetics will have the best physique. But rarely are all things equal.
If those guys with better genes trained as hard and intense as me, I wouldn't stand a chance!
What if the genetically superior male is actually a bit of a dickhead?
You have three people in the White House that are in love with eugenics or whatever it is you would call it today.
