The word "eugenics" was first put forward by British human geneticist Gao Erdun in 1883, which originally meant "healthy inheritance". He advocated selective marriage to reduce the spread of bad genetic quality, so as to gradually improve and improve the genetic quality of the population. Generally speaking, "health" of eugenics means health, "excellence" means excellence or excellence, and eugenics means excellence, that is, using genetic principles and a series of measures to make future generations healthy and intelligent.
There are as many as 380,000 abnormal fetuses born in China every year, many of which are severely disabled infants without cerebral malformation, hydrocephalus and brain boron excretion. In recent 10 years, China's eugenics has been developed, and some high-tech aspects such as molecular genetic research, gene probe, chromosome cutting and in-situ hybridization have approached or reached the international advanced level. Many medical institutions have also carried out prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling of fetal defects.
Eugenics is a science that uses genetic principles to ensure that future generations have normal learning and survival ability. As we all know, a big family will undoubtedly reduce the quality of life of children first, which will inevitably affect and hinder their growth. Secondly, the overpopulation of the family also brings heavy population pressure to the country, which not only affects the national economic development, but also hinders the social progress.
In this sense, it is not so much that our family planning parents created a golden childhood for their children, but rather that the beautiful existence of today's children makes us more aware of the harm of our huge population yesterday.
Therefore, as fathers and mothers, we should completely abandon the shackles of the old concept of "more children and more happiness" and remember that only having fewer children can have better children. Committed to creating material and spiritual conditions for the growth of our children, so that they can grow up in bright sunshine and sweet rain and dew.
