Does Lisa The Simpson Promote Eugenics

[RMQualtrough]

It promotes the idea that someone can have inferior/superior genes.
A male without the simpson gene would be preferable to one who does.

There was a big deal a few years ago when one of the co-discoverers of DNA said that intelligence could have a genetic link, resulting in him losing his nobel prize.
The central plot point of this episode seems to be rather inline with that.

I think eugenics isn't just the literal fact that some genes are superior to others?

It's sad when heavily disabled people have kids who are also of course, heavily disabled, and have to suffer through a painful existence.

Yes but that's a stupid idea to use this fact in practice due to how little we know about genetics.

This is something 20th century people didn't know, but removing some specific groups mentally disabled people from the gene pool removes high IQ genes from the gene pool.
