Gedopi, a non Eugenic Doctor

One day Bob brings his son to his government appointed doctor, Dr. Gedopi.

“Good morning Dr. Gedopi,” says Bob.

“Good morning,” says Dr. Gedopi.

“My son’s eyes have an itch,” says Bob.

“Okay, let me check that. Well, congratulations, your sons have healthy baby Tze Tze flies larvae on the eyes,” says Dr. Gedopi.

“Oh, what do they do?” asks Bob.

“Well, it’ll eat out your sons’ eyes unless we remove them,” says Dr. Gedopi

“Well, you will remove them right?” says Bob.

“No. Those larvae have as much right to live as anyone. The larvae have not done anything wrong. They don’t deserve to die. All lives are sacred,” explains Dr. Gedopi.

“Well, I don’t know much about things being sacred. But what business do we have in helping them live. It’s simply much easier and cheaper to just kill those parasites,” asks Bob.

“That is offensive. Not only that, we’ll never know. One day those larvae will become tax paying doctors, lawyers, or programmers as competent and wise as I am,” says Dr. Gedopi.

“I would disagree. I really do not think those larvae will be a tax paying doctors, lawyers, programmers, or anything. Look, their dad is a parasite, their mom is a parasite, and they’ve been parasites for generations to generations. Parasites breed parasites, not productive citizens,” says Bob.

“Who are you to condemn such creatures to such a bleak future? We’d never know. Our life depends on what we choose. It’s not decided when we are born,” says Dr. Gedopi.

“Dr. the larvae could not possibly be doctors’ lawyers or programmers because they do not have the right genes. None of their family has been doctors’ lawyers or programmers. This is not decided when they are born. This has been decided long before they are born,” protests Bob. Bob then shows evolutionary chart showing the location of the last common ancestors between the larvae and a lawyer must have been.

“What are you? A disgusting eugenic? Not simply because one doesn’t have the right family means they can’t be productive members of society. Yet you choose to condemn these hapless being long before they show any merit. All they need is smaller class size, proper government funded education. We just need to make sure they got all their basic humans’ right,” says Dr. Gedopi.

“Doctor, the larvae are not even human!” protests Bob.

“What are you? Collectivists? Simply because our species have built all these technologies does not mean you deserve any credit. All that matter is individuals, not collective species. People that count on achievements of their group instead of their own are disgusting,” protests Dr. Gedopi.

“Okay cool. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe those larvae can indeed become doctors, lawyers or programmers, but who will pay for all these costs? Who will take all those risks if they don’t? What about if after all we spend to educate and feed them their tax they pay is lower than what we spend?” asks Bob.

“Well, their parents should support them of course. However, their parents are poor and can’t afford them. Moreover, because we do not know who the parents of these larvae are, I guess it’s up to government to provide necessary smaller classes and proper education to ensure that these larvae have as much chance to be doctors, lawyers, and programmers as Bill Gates’ son,” explains Dr. Gedopi.

“Okay, so basically these parasites can breed as many children as possible and governments will just pay for it?” asks Bob, “This is meanwhile those who truly are productive are sent to jail for failing to pay $50k per month child support?”

“How could you be so cold hearted? Imagine if you are one of those larvae and you don’t get a proper education, you too wouldn’t be a good programmer like you are now,” says Dr. Gedopi.

“Actually I would, because I learn from the internet,” explains Bob.

“Well, not all people like you. These parasites cannot. Hence they need government funded education,” explains Dr. Gedopi

“So because somebody cannot mean my tax have to pay for their incompetence,” asks Bob.

“That’s only fair. Give everyone an equal chance and see how things go,” says Dr. Gedopi quoting Plato, Socrates, Buddha, Jesus, Dalai Lama, and a bunch of other moral authoriteys.

Bob then brings his son to another doctor that quickly removes the larvae. Both Bob and the doctor get shot by SWAT team for using unlicensed doctors unassigned by government.

The parasites breed and breed and breed. Soon there are more parasites than productive people. Democracy ensure that productive are tax more heavily to support the parasites.

Bob’s son, Pop, studies programming in government public school.

The teacher is Mrs. Godepi.

“All right children, now we will have to learn how to build a cocoon and methamorph into a fly,” says Mrs. Godepi.
