Hawkins would not have been allowed to have been born if eugenics had been in place prior to his conception. Eugenics is the use of selective breeding and sterilization to create superior humans. People carrying the faulty genes are not allowed to reproduce under eugenics.

Again, you're falsely conflating eliminating genes with eliminating people. In your short-sighted moral outrage over a tweet, you are arguing against the very methods that would allow us to eliminate ALS. You are not the moral hero here.

The methods by which eugenics eliminates genes are controlled breeding and sterilization. That is what eugenics is. It is the definition of the term.

Read my reply again. And actually read it this time.

How does eugenics remove the genes that cause ALS?

Stop being a disingenuous moron. You tried linking the condition to the person to create a moral argument against removing the condition. That is absurd, and short-sighted idiocy.

I have made no argument against removing the condition. The method by which eugenics removes the condition is through sterilization and controlled breeding. Eugenics does not remove the condition in the individual. It removes it from the population by targeting individuals.

You most certainly did. Then you argued when I pointed it out. A bit late now to pull back. Are you going to ban people from getting treatments when we have the ability to stop the immune system from attacking the body, thus eliminating auto-immune disorders?
