Natural selection is still acting upon the human species. Changes are being made to our allele frequencies with or without our sanction. I believe that massive amounts of pain and suffering could be averted by making conscious choices about which alleles become more or less prevalent, and that makes me a weirdo. Tay-Sachs, Harlequin ichthyosis, all kinds of diseases, all kinds of suffering are apparently the price our society is willing to pay to maintain the moral high ground.
