Most people who object to eugenics, as best I can tell, do not object to it because it does/doesn't work. It's because they simply don't view it as the goal of human enterprise, especially when it comes with suffering as a cost.
[/ QUOTE ]Not only does it not work, but, even if it did work (whatever the hell that means), we should be roundly rejecting it for being a completely immoral enterprise.
To seriously talk for (or propagate) eugenics at this day and age is a sign of ignorance, imbecility or bigotry.

Ignoring ethics it seems highly unlikely that breeding for intelligence wouldn't result in cleverer people.
Could be what happened with the ancient grreks and/or those jewish chaps. If you bring kids up in an intellectual environment then they are more likely to select for an intelligent mate.
