Reply to comment by !deleted1196 in Eugenicists that could use a banning [banned one] by Enkara

Someone in the thread is even making that argument.

It's common among transhumanists especially.

But even regular ancoms sometimes support forms of collectivized childcare.

I would say that is impossible to raise a child in a non collective way. Even in the individualized modern life, those that do not have family to assist with the child, request help from friends and neighbors or hire someone to assist with it.

I don't think children should be raised by abusers, I don't think it's so wrong to want parents to be properly vetted and prepared for childrearing.

Build a psychological profile using a variety of both written and practical tests I guess (maybe by giving the prospective parents robot children for a year and record all their responses to different scenarios?)

Lol it's easy fam, just give minors full autonomy and if they hate their birth family they can leave and find somewhere else to live.

That is in no way the same as or even close to eugenics.

Was responding to this:

Where have you heard this argument from except from maybe liberals?

I've seen collectivists make the argument and I wanted to debate it. They say that children should be raised in communal institutions by people trained in child psychology, rather than their unqualified parents.
