Before technological intervention on a massive scale, natural selection
took care of bad gene combinations. FWIW, I think the liberal process of
protecting people from bad throws of genetic dice cannot go on for many
more generations. Liberals have to stop trying to prevent natural
selection while conservatives have to stop denying evolution is at the
center of human and other biology.
