In 1859 Charles Darwin proposed the law of natural selection. In the mid 1960's seat belts were introduced which tended to defeat that law and then the all volunteer army worked in direct counter balance to that law. While most of my beliefs are fairly liberal, I am not blind to the fact we are not removing poor quality genes through starvation and disease.

Think about it. Modern medicine has taken away all of the great plagues and FDA and CDC are beat up in the news every time someone gets diarrhea. OSHA and other workplace regulations have cut down on people sawing their own head off with a chainsaw. We haven't had a great Chicago fire in a long time.
