    Eugenics is not sound because

    1. It makes moral judgments as to what human traits are desirable and undesirable, which are non-scientific and largely based in prejudice.
    2. It treats all traits as heritable which neglects socialisation and other complex factors.

    Like for example eugenics in the Nazi regime genocided 90% of people with schizophrenia to try and wipe it out. But now, in 2025, schizophrenia rates are largely the same between germany and other western countries, because schizophrenia only has a small heritability factor.
