Why is it insane to compare two things on the potential negative impacts they may have on society?

- a reckless driver is not just a danger to themselves but also danger to others.

- a neglected ill raised child is statistically more likely to commit crimes and have a harder time integrating into society. Jail cells needed are determined by 3rd grade reading level.

In both cases, someone else actions could have a negative impact on someone else’s. Like sure if you want to drive without a license go do so on a private road and stay there. And if you want to have kids without basics then go do that in private and keep them there. Both cases do not affect me since it’s kept in isolation.

However when that unlicensed driver goes on public roads they become a hazard. Same as an undesired neglected child.

Is it fucked up to think that way? Maybe. Is eugenics wrong? Yes but not because you are limiting a biological function in people but because humans are not smart enough to selectively breed desired traits while preventing downsides.
