For those determined to miss the point, I deplore the idea of a eugenic policy. I simply said deploring it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work. Just as we breed cows to yield more milk, we could breed humans to run faster or jump higher. But heaven forbid that we should do it.

A eugenic policy would be bad. I’m combating the illogical step from “X would be bad” to “So X is impossible”. It would work in the same sense as it works for cows. Let’s fight it on moral grounds. Deny obvious scientific facts & we lose – or at best derail – the argument.

Maybe Dawkins is a really shitty writer then, and he should work on his delivery. For starters, I think any copy editor who cared would point out that "work" is a vague cop out...at best.

Way to deliberately misunderstand what was said.

Hey, uh, good luck with this one, man

Also, ignoring the hideous ethical and moral violations imposing eugenics would require, it’s probably quite difficult to selectively breed your own species and not one that reaches maturity within a few years. Also, what the hell?
