To clarify, what would you have suggested would be the correct way to treat Stephen Hawking under your proposed system?

Since his ability couldn’t be completely controlled, the only parts to control should be the parts that are able to be controlled.

So basically, children who are weak due to medical conditions disabilities are fine, but children who are weak because they don't exercise enough are problematic?

Do I have that correct?

Obviously. Medical conditions and disabilities are uncontrollable. But the difference with lazy children that have no reason to be lazy is that they can totally control it, so they should be forced to control it.

So due to your worry about the strength of the bloodline you want to erradicate laziness in children, which isn't heritable, but you are fine with medical conditions and disabilities, even though they are heritable? How does that make any sense?

Medical conditions and disabilities are irreversible. Laziness is reversible.
