graizur, brush up on some basic animal husbandry or some gregor mendel before you come in with such bright ideas.
in genetics, fitness is basically a measure of breeding success. it may have been a poor choice of words, because its meaning is often mistaken as "superior" or "optimum".
breeding for multiple "optimum" traits would result in a relatively homogenenous population, just like inbreeding. populations are made more resilient with genetic diversity, and we already have that.
and humans breed for traits all the time. it's called sexual selection. whether your brain knows it or not, your genes are constantly seeking to integrate themselves into the population by pairing your zygotes with a viable candidate.
Sorry. Just tired of people having to endure less then optimum body conditions. Bad eye sight, shoddy joints, severe allergies, easily burnable skin, hard to manage hair, short life span, high suseptibility to infection or specific disease etc.
it's called humanity.
sheesh. why not just campaign to put everybody in robot bodies.

you'd have the strength of five gorillas.
I don't think that if you removed the traits I listed above that humanity would lose anything essential.
oh man I found a website with a whole fucking lot of old Jeopardy games, with all the clues and shit and suggested wagers for final Jeopardy.

holy shit
According to Soviet propaganda, the anti-tank dogs were successful at disabling a reported three hundred German tanks. They were enough of a problem to the Nazi advance that the Germans were compelled to take measures against them. An armoured vehicle's top-mounted machine gun proved ineffective due to the relatively small size of the attackers and the fact that they were low to the ground, fast, and hard to spot. Orders were dispatched that commanded every German soldier to shoot any dogs on sight. Eventually the Germans began using tank-mounted flame-throwers to ward off the dogs. They were much more successful at dissuading the attacks—but some dogs would not stop.
However, in 1942 one use of the anti-tank dogs went seriously awry when a large contingent of anti-tank dogs ran amok, endangering everyone in the battle and forcing the retreat of an entire Soviet division[citation needed]. Soon afterward the anti-tank dogs were withdrawn from service.

hey i have hard to manage hair, and let me tell you it's no picnic
How does it feel to be genetically inferior?
When you get sent to the camps they'll put a little picture of a comb on your overalls.
The best way to manage genetic traits is to make certain traits unpopular via social manipulation. Camps are unneccesary.
the best way according to whom?
I am sorry I should have said efficient.
If by "efficient" you mean "the way the takes several million years for any visible difference to appear", then you're absolutely right!
Evolution is slow ass.
I was gonna argue about how several dog-breeds have been created in the last few hundred years but then I realized that going from wolf to all the breeds of dogs we have took way longer.
Also why even bother with human breeding? Just genesplice.

You have straight hair don't you? I am not talking about african american hair. I am OBVIOUSLY talking about MY kind of hair.
I don't plan on producing children. I was joking before with Pony. There are enough humans on earth as it is, especially in my city.

It's what brought down the Incans.
