What is the significance of advocating gene eugenics?

First of all, the eugenic policy can increase the proportion of excellent genetic quality in the population, and it is also one of the most important means to make the Chinese nation prosperous. Numerous facts show that if the strategy of prenatal and postnatal care is not implemented, the disabled and patients with genetic diseases in the population will be passed down from generation to generation, which will eventually endanger the fate of the whole Chinese nation. From this perspective, gene eugenics is a policy with important responsibilities.

Someone once investigated a village in a remote mountainous area. The name of this village has almost been forgotten, and people call it "Fool Village". The traffic here is blocked, endemic goiter (called big neck disease) is rampant, and there is a vulgar custom of consanguineous marriage, so that there are more than 150 mentally retarded people in this village with less than 200 households. Many primary school students repeat grades, and some children continue to study in the first grade of primary school, and they still can't go to the second grade until 17 years old. What a painful lesson this is! Therefore, there is an urgent need to popularize the knowledge of eugenics and act according to the rules suggested by eugenics.

Secondly, carrying out prenatal and postnatal care and improving genetic quality can improve the economic benefits of intellectual investment. For a person with poor genetic quality, no amount of intellectual input is casting pearls before swine; On the contrary, for those with excellent genetic quality and high IQ, intellectual input will get twice the result with half the effort. At present, China is popularizing primary and secondary education. If we act according to the laws of eugenics and make the educated's intelligence intact, the economic benefits of intellectual investment will be very ideal, thus promoting the development of China's science and culture and accelerating the process of the four modernizations.

Third, the implementation of eugenics, reducing and eliminating the birth of inferior individuals, can reduce the economic burden of families and society. According to the investigation of relevant departments, all kinds of disabled people in China account for about 5% of the total population. With 1987 alone, there are more than 290,000 obvious and serious defects in China, which is a rather grim reality.

At present, there may be more than 6.5438+0.2 million patients with congenital stupidity in China. At least100000 children have mental and physical congenital defects. A survey in the United States shows that it costs $200,000 to give birth to and raise a child with congenital stupidity. The living standard in China is relatively low. Even if it is calculated according to120 in the United States, the whole country will spend1200 million yuan more. What's more, it also includes patients such as schizophrenia and primary blindness. What a heavy burden it is for a country that needs a lot of money for economic construction!

Fourth, the implementation of prenatal and postnatal care can alleviate and eliminate parents' worries. If a family gives birth to a child who can't take care of himself when he grows up, his parents will be very worried. This heavy burden will last for decades, and even he will not feel at ease until he dies. This is a kind of pain and misfortune for parents and sick children. If eugenics is implemented, the children born are healthy and smart, and parents can focus on their work.

Finally, the implementation of prenatal and postnatal care is conducive to the implementation of the policy of "one child for a couple". If the first child is a moron, many people will have a second child. If the second child is still an imbecile, it will be a great misfortune for the country and the family! Therefore, in today's "a couple only has one child", eugenics has special significance.
