Zero-Sum Game, the worlds population

Through breakthroughs in medicine and technology we are, in effect, contaminating the human population because we are allowing people with genetic diseases to propagate and therefore spread them into the general population. We are going against nature's plan. We are already seeing consequences overpopulation is having on earth, mainly pollution.

*Takes Ayn Rand hat off*

Do you even know what the "Ayn Rand hat" looks like? Where and when did Rand advocate eugenics? Could you please provide me with some sort of a citation? I have all of her works of fiction and non-fiction here, and probably have almost everything she ever wrote in print. Just where did she advocate Eugenics or the survival of only the physically fit amongst us. Can you cite to her non-fiction writing in The Objectivist Newsletter, The Objectivist, or The Ayn Rand Letter?

If you can't cite a reference for her alleged advocacy of eugenics, then please STFU and take it back. For the record, Rand was a staunch advocate of the concept of individual rights and took it to the extreme. She also supported the use of the mind and cheered man's ability to cure diseases and to invent medical technology, allowing the physically weak to live. Where did you come up with this FUD?
