What are your thoughts on natural selection and the way our society uses medicine to help save lives?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection i believe that allowing the weak to breed with the strong the strong cannot prosper according to the natural laws that got us here in the first place

Answer 1

No-one needs to justify their existence, whether weak or strong.

If you truly believe this, you would not take antibiotics, and therefore succumb to the next infection you get. You would stop washing, and return to a parasite-infected state, with all the associated diseases. If ever you have children, they should be born without the benefits of modern medicine, and the associated high risk of infant and maternal mortality that came with it. These are the lives that modern medicine is saving.

Evolution does not have a direction. Humans are not becoming stronger, because there is no need to.

The amount of time that medicine has been saving lives is, in evolutionary terms, very small - less than 100 years. Also, modern medicine is available to perhaps 10% of the world's population, the other 90% can still die from preventable disease, and are subject to natural selection on those grounds.

Answer 2

" Weak breeding with the strong. " As usual, you people forget sexual selection, among the other things pointed out to you by the above poster. Read that wiki article carefully, this time, or have someone explain it to you.

Answer 3

We should let all people live. Do you know how boring it is in some states. There's tons of land, and no one around.

What about how society kills babies and calls it choice. There's nothing natural about that.

Darwin never answered the missing link dilemna (no in between animals, no half turtle, half birds, no half ape, half human. etc.) Also, there is no explanation how space was created.
