Natural vs. Artificial selection. Humans already "select" for positive traits - been doing this since it all began.

If humans are no different than animals, why would we treat ourselves differently than we treat animals? Cows are bred for maximum beef production and disease resistance, dogs are bred for looks and utility. Why not examine the genes of the human animals on this planet and select out those we deem disadvantageous to our collective survival?

Humans already do this - it's called "sex". Did you and your wife select each other for certain traits or just pick a mate a random?
