Reading some of the later posts sparked a memory of when I was at the Chicago Field Museum and there was a gallery of the Forbidden City in China. The topic was brought up about ancient China and how (as the conversation progressed) that the Chinese would murder children that seemed either to be retarded or have some kind of physically noticable defect. I hope that the others were making this up (these weren't museum guides, just visitors that seemed knowledgeable on China). I know that this topic of selective breeding came up in another topic about Dr. Mengele and his experiments.
