This would get rid of a lot of family based diseases and reduce other flaws. On the other hand it would be totally unethical, much like a death sentence.
totally unethical, but the benefits could be superb - recessive gene disorders would be eliminated. im just waiting for the Gatagca days to start.
now whether or not murderers or other convicts hand down those traits to kids is another topic. sure certain mental disorders might be genetic. but if some one killed a person by anything other than premeditated cold blood or b/c of a mental disorder....would that mean their kids become murders b/c their parent committed manslaughter (ex self defense, etc)?
