Completely dodging the question and ignoring the issue. How do you make a selection without having a value judgement? If you cannot make a selection, how can you breed anything?

You cannot vaccinate anyone without selecting someone to vaccinate based on a value judgment. Therefore vaccine science is fundamentally dependent on a value judgment ?

That is an argument to absurdity. It is fairly simple - if you can totally divorce selection from breeding, then detail how you can breed a dog without ever making a judgement about which traits you value

You need to select a trait. But which one, as long as it’s heritable, is IRRELEVANT to acknowledging that breeding work.

You're still dodging the question and it's really getting tiresome. The idea of heritability is a fact, but without the theoretical framework of breeding it is meaningless

What ? Human breeded animals and plants for thousands of years. What does « theoretical framework » even mean ? All they needed is the knowledge that similar parents tend to have similar breed.

That is the theoretical framework. Doesn't have to be complex. Like I said, this is tedious, you clearly do not understand the point I'm trying to make here

What’s the point ? You said that it was arbitrary to distinguish between the science and morality behind eugenism. It’s not. It’s a clear distinction.

Because without the theory, all you've got is a meaningless fact. Unless you can make a choice, all you can say is that traits are heritable, you can't select the ones you want

No, you don’t need any value judgment to know that by selecting any heritable trait you can change the average caracteristics of a population. It’s

We've just come full circle back to the original tweet. There is a fact - that certain traits are heritable - and there is the theory underlying that fact, how it can be operationalized, and how we can measure and understand the fact which is sciencehttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1368681474942070785?s=20 …
