The notion that human life is precious is a remnant of times when child bearing was risky, life expectancy was short, agriculture was a bunch of mules and a bunch of peasants and medicine was not scientific and we had massive shortages for manual workers.
These days, if we start to lighten up a bit in the lower half of IQ distribution it might be much more of a blessing than a curse.
