Dixon, That's a good question. We should let Nature determine that. Maharishi would have said that this will create bad karma for the nation as a whole.
In the past, the people of Sparta used to throw babies with defects down the cliff. Although their intent was to keep their genetic pool healthy, it turned out that their culture became too arrogant and self-serving. As such, the other neighboring cultures of Sparta became wise to the Spartan's tactics and learned to defeat the Spartans at their own game. In the end, the culture of Sparta died out.
