FBWI: Man Sued for Procreating

This is appalling. This man named Guy Peterson was deemed unfit to breed, like so many imbeciles are. Normally he'd have been sterilized, like those other imbeciles. This is where the plot thickens. He afterwards vanished, and was not found until 20 years later, in another country with a child - his child. Authorities are still puzzled as to how someone with an IQ of 78 managed to evade authorities for so long.
 
He probably had help from the Catholic 'underground' or those 'Humanists'.

Of course, you could wonder what business Washington had tracking him down. It's not like he committed a crime (other than evading sterilisation, which IIRC is a midemeanour in most states unless you have a severe genetic disorder). He had his child in Brazil or Argentina if the press got that right, and neither of those mandates childlessness for imbecility. Not everywhere is as strict about eugenics as the Anglosphere or the Scandinavians.
 
The Latin American Union does not have an extradition treaty anyway within the USA. Furthermore , the procreation occured OUTSIDE US territory. So , technically , besides avoiding Sterealisation , he's done nothing wrong.

And now his child is doomed to live the same life as him, to face mandatory sterilised and kept under constant government supervision.

This man evidently is an imbecile, he would have to be to think that procreation was a good idea.

A child? What child. That was an illegal birthing. It should be put down immediately. How else are we to keep law and order if we allow unlawful life to continue?

Americans... :rolleyes:

It was in the LAU, not the USA. They don't have national health care there, so they don't have the Healthy Offspring Propagation Encouragement act, either. Sure they don't encourage imbeciles to breed - who would? - but they don't euthanise their offspring unless they have serious conditions. Really, for a veggie, the guy was pretty smart. He wanted a kid, so he left the USA for a place where he could legally have one. Not really smart, of course, otherwise he'd have realised the mistake he was making, but for a spazz, it's pretty good.

Humans procreating? Nonsense! Only Homo Sapiens Futuris, the next stage of human evolution, should procreate. All hail our cybernetic overlords!
 
As I'm read it, he got through to the other country by means of stolen identity - that of a rich man named Jay Grendel. It's uncertain whether the victim was living or dead when the identity was stolen, and just as unclear is whether he is living or dead now. The authorities are trying to determine if Guy did it. As for the Humanists, they're the prime suspect as to who his patron was. Really, those Humanists. The idea of innate human worth regardless of intelligence nearly led human society to ruin, until the liberating technology of Genetic Engineering forced the choice. Parents who could afford it chose to have the doctors genengineer out the traits they saw as unfit for their children. After a while, as public opinion on the matter changed, the democratic governments followed suit. And still the Humanist rail on about how "unfair" or "inhumane" eugenics is. I swear, those fools ought to be sterilized along with the fools they want to help!
 
You people make me sick. Here in the Free State of New York we're doing just fine without Eugenics. Murderers, filthy murderers the lot of you!

Whoa, a guy from the FSNY:eek: I see they finally got electricity running. How's the plumbing coming along then?
 
We are not murderers if we prevent a unfit human from being born. We are not killing an existing person. We are preventing people from coming into being. There is a difference. As for killing off the unlawful births, that is just what a societal gardener does. Get rid of weeds, which threaten the other plants. Self Defense is not murder. See the difference, New Yorker?

With the amount of inbreeding in the NYFS these days, I imagine most are GenCat IV by now anyway. Probably for the best they stay on their reservation. Can you imagine the genetic pollution they could cause if those freebreeders ever came over the wall?
 
Well , the alternative was worse. In 2093 ,in the aftermath of the Genetic Wars , the USA faced two options : Keep the defeated Unmodded humans , but stratify society and curb social mobility through the judicious control of Genetic Enhancement, or sterealize everyone below a certain intelligence treshhold and elevate what's left . Most of the rest of the world faced the same option , and went different ways. The LAU anyway chosed the second option , which meant that that poor guy was basically an industry-serf serving some Genetic Homo Futuris Aristocrata.

Anyway , Psych Examinations by the UTCS ( United Terran Council of States) has ascertain that his child has an amazing IQ level of close to 180+ , making him eligible for elevation in the LAU.

Which option is worse , of course, is questionable. The LAU is democratic among the upper classes , but faces stunning inequity. The USA is more egalitiaian due to Genetic Mods , but has far less population compared to the LAU , and faces a more authorotarian Technocratic State. Democracy is very much a sham in the Birthplace of Modern Democracy ironically. It has been the case since the days of Dobson Alvagrez. Obama was basically the last chance to prevent the US we see today. Needless to say , the US blew it to high heavens.
 
OOC: I think this thread might work better if we ignored the FH angle and those posts which advocate it. It's in the wrong forum for that- start another version of the thread there. I think there is enough interesting possibilities with the idea of eugenics taking off, or being maintained as a legitimate view to this day, without having to resort to having an FBWI.
