Promethia: If the US government, or any other government, were to use coercion, forced use of eugenics, the outcome may not be favorable. Fortunately, this is highly unlikely.  On an individual level, there should be enough of an agreement about what traits are favorable and what constitutes as maintaining a healthy society. If government coercion is ruled out, then it can even be argued that parents should be free to pick the eye or hair color of their children.  Any harmless characteristic could be an option for choice as long as the freedom of choice presumes no risk for the child and does not compromise the child’s chance of maximizing the opportunities and challenges he or she might be faced with (Site 4).
