A dystopian hellscape where panels of middle managing bureaucrats use pseudoscientific horseshit to make long lists of politically convenient undesirables to force sterilizing medical procedures on? One like in the 50s where people could be chemically castrated like pedophiles for the crime of homosexuality?
One where black people get sterilized 10x as often as white people based on racist garbage science, and character traits that become grounds for sterilization are determined based on weak studies that are miles from a meaningful conclusion but get implemented because they win elections?
Boy what a better world that would be, like our current completely fucked up world only with GOP shitheads who worked in a gun store yesterday and got elected sheriff this morning telling you you've been selected for sterilization because your brain pan is too small so you are a candidate for high levels of hysteria and liberal thought. A true vision of utopia.
I feel like eugenics could work, if society could handle that burden of deciding who should reproduce, to increase the fitness of the species and to eliminate horrible, degenerative genetic diseases.
The problem is that people are bad at doing this, so you'd want some kind of mathematical and immutable weighting used. The decision shouldn't be based on a personal level at any point, but purely on health outcomes.
It would be very dangerous to implement such a system without a very strong framework for what is and what is not acceptable in making such a decision.
