according to Darwin's theory of natural selection, animals that have unfavorable traits will die off. Are humans doing wrong by selling glasses etc. to people with poor vision. For animals are supposed to evolve and people with disabilities are mixed into the gene pool, we screw up evolution and therefore violate Darwin's theory of natural selection.
 
Is eating morally wrong. I mean, we're killing other living things (vegi or carni)...

Schaden's almost got a good point...
except, he doesn't realize that in addition to inherited traits, species also adaptations to their environment...

The scary thing is that it's almost definitely better to be smart.... and intelligence is, to a degree, inherited...
But in general intelligent people have kids later in life, and have fewer kids than less intelligent people. If we could get intelligent people to only marry/reproduce with other intelligent people, we'd end up splitting into two different species, eventually.... with the intelligent people vastly outnumbered (not that THAT would matter, since the intelligent people would naturally foresee any problems and deal with them appropriately)

edit: I lost where I was going with this..

Oh yeah, so, reproducing, if you're less intelligent should be more morally wrong than wearing glasses...
So, Schadenfroh, it's okay for you to wear glasses, just don't reproduce. Okay?

I was almost too lazy to read all of your post but the last two lines were definitely worth it. 🙂
