Galton's Theory Of Eugenics

In contrast to my argument that eugenics requires further significant research, Galton argued that the provisions already conveyed regarding eugenics, such as that there is an obvious divide between the genetically well-endowed and the genetically undesirable that can be solved through selective breeding and forced sterilization, would be adequate to benefit, improve, and protect the human race from suffering which would otherwise be caused by Natural Selection (Scarfe, 2018a, 1). This would align with the Feminist Ethics of Care Paternalistic Model as well as the Instrumental Model of Care because Galton seeks to make the best decision possible for the majority of society rather than properly consider and communicate with society as a whole

Furthermore, Huxley insists on the ethics of eugenics through his theory of transhumanism, which is the transcendency of man who realizes and attempts to actualize the new possibilities “of and for his human nature” while remaining merely human thus fulfilling the human destiny (Scarfe, 2018a, 4). This interpretation of the sole purpose of humanity to progress is incredibly reductionistic and mechanistic, however it can relate to the Aristotelian teleological process. Aristotle describes the teleological process as the fluctuating ethical movement of an organism from its potentiality to its actualization, which can be exemplified by an acorn

This view of eugenics would also result in the interruption of actualization for individuals with disabilities and others with considerably “un-preferred” genes, which would therefore be unvirtuous and subsequently
