We've already bred.
It does take a particular brand of species-centrism to think I was talking about the evolution of
humans.
That consideration is completely immaterial to the discussion.
You were directly referring to the older segment of the human population, not the
entire human population. Much as I abhor sports, I believe that your maneuver there is called "moving the goalposts".

For the Darwin Awards to be effective, you need to self-select yourself out of the gene pool before having passed your genes on to the next generation.
A disease that targets the elderly, who have already done all the gene-passing that they ever will (Cary Grant notwithstanding), will have far less impact on a population than a disease that targets the young, who have not yet had any chance to pass on their genes. That applies to
all animal species, not just humans.
BTW, you've been gone for several years, so I no longer have any context in which to take your messages.
