It's not PC, but it's true.
It is eugenics. You are making the case for a master race, not necessarily racially pure, and certainly not in a Nazi sense, but you are basically saying that the genetically inferior in intelligence or physical health will cause the species to decline by reproducing (which was/is the foundation of eugenics). Do you see evidence of this? Do you see humans, as a species, getting physically weaker, having increasingly shorter lifespans, and having less intelligence? Conversely do you see the opportunity for selective breeding to produce a strain of humans with superior health, strength, industry, and intelligence?
