Could we be bred to be perfect? Obviously not, as some trait variations cannot be proven to be better than others, but that doesn’t mean no one has tried. Selective breeding is now most commonly used in plants, however, it has unfortunately been forced upon people as well. To explain, the act of choosing traits that are deemed perfect or greater than others is called selective breeding. Specifically, “Artificial Selection is the form of selection in which humans actively choose which traits should be passed onto offspring,” --insert citation--.

This awful attempt at creating the “perfect” race last eleven years and ended the lives of nearly 6 million Jews alone. In the past, many people supported the idea of having some kind of “master race,” but now, anyone with their head on straight disagrees with selectively breeding people. To show that, “Others take the argument one step further and say that encouraging the selective breeding of animals implies that we are ready to endorse the selective breeding of humans in order to create the “perfect race,” --citation--. This shows that the idea of artificially selecting human traits to pass on to offspring makes people uncomfortable. It is understandable why people this way because it blatantly shows a manifestation of oppression. Clearly, and rightly, no one really likes the idea of spreading only certain types of traits on in our current time. To finish, selective breeding has only one place, and that is when growing plants. Despite the fact that it is now only used for plants, the horrible effects of it are still felt in the hearts of the victims who were involved. As long healthy people are being born, there’s absolutely no reason why people should be trying to remove traits from our gene
