In the nations of the West, already quasi-internationalist due to the legacy of Christianity as a missionary religion, modern communications tended to extend the concept of human community to embrace the entire world. The traditional negative eugenicists were concerned about bad genes in families of imbeciles or genetic diseases that had to be prevented from spreading in the population. Today, negative eugenics concerned with genetic disease is best practiced at the family level, between parents and their doctor. It is foolish to think that the government can do any better job of determining the significance of a genetic disease or condition.
Intelligent parents are in the best position to determine when to abort and when to have a child.
For stupid parents, abortion is always the best option but the less intelligent cannot understand the arguments. Now, thanks to psychometrics, we can measure intelligence along with a host of other personality types. All other personality traits, such as conscientiousness, impulsiveness, activity level, extraversion, sociability, etc., can be ignored until the overall level of a population s average IQ is sufficient to deal with the level of technical and social complexity that we find ourselves in today. In fact in evolutionary or adaptive terms, nature keeps most of these genetic traits mixed-up because in different ecologies or environments, different ones will have better survival value. In nature, there is no one ideal personality trait.
