I am most concerned at the phenomenon of dysgenics which I believe is causing, among many other problems, the "dumbing down" of our education system in Australia, and no doubt elsewhere.
I am aware of various purported eugenic remedies to this problem of decreasing giftedness in the population, but none of the eugenic "remedies" put forward could possibly satisfy my own sense of morality and ethics. In fact, such remedies,in the main, seem totally repugnant.
But the problem of dysgenics, and its advanced state in time, seems most urgently dangerous for God's people as a whole.
There just *has* to be a Christian answer, and I am wondering what that holy and compionate answer could be. It seems to be a real dilemma. Did Lonergan address this matter? http://www.eugenics.net/papers/Inq4.html
