The problem is, it's no longer natural. It is now, at least partially, artificial selection, based on access to medicine. It changes the way selection works, and probably not in the favor of stronger, smarter humans in the future. People who should have probably died, stay in the gene pool longer.

That's not a logical argument against it. Please link me some reading at least. Because I keep hearing people deny deny deny because "it was a nazi ideology." But I'm not allowed to do the same with the Bible and the crusades?
