And let's take a closer look at our current gene pool and see how they are faring.
I see the conservatives are doing quite fine. I do worry about that liberal gene pool. Belief in astrology and they don't know that the earth revolves around the sun? Maybe some adjustment needs to be made there, but I wouldn't cheer over some liberal death.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Not such good news for us...
Getting serious though, the gene pool benefits simply from increased diversity. The more recombinations possible from mating pairs, the more likely a population is to survive disease and that's the biggest killer of us all. As there is no one gene (or even only a few gene combinations) that controls intelligence, common sense, prudence, rationality, wisdom, or good judgement (or even immunity to any and all diseases), the death of one human is not going to greatly impact the overall health of the population.
What makes a healthy population is, oddly enough, increased mating between the least alike pairings. So...liberals should be having kids with conservatives, ethnic groups should be intermingling, religions should be cross-marrying, and maybe we should be trying to clone some Neandertals. :Scared:
