I'm not here to judge whether that's right or wrong.

Well, technically, hospitals are fucking with natural selection everytime they save someones life or cure them of a disease. Everytime someone saves someones life they are fucking with natural selection. So I guess that many people would say that not fucking with natural selection is wrong.
The whole drive to cure cancer, AIDs, and genetic defects, is nothing but mankind fucking with natural selection.
As for the purpose of human life, I consider it to just have the purpose of continuing human life, it has nothing to do with refining the gene pool, at least it doesn't now that we have stepped in and started messing with natural selection. We as a race have effectively stopped the evolution(genetically) of our species.
The only way to get natural selection back on track is to let those with cancer, AIDs and whatnot, die, along with those who receive fatal injuries. I'm not saying I support the idea, I'm just saying that is the only way to let natural selection take it's course.
