Isn't "viability" really a eugenics euphemism for "breedability?
Would Toulouse-Lautrec, Helen Keller or even Lord Byron make it through the womb-photography test?

We only want "lovable" babies.

correction: Helen Keller's condition was brought on at 19 months. I should have phrased it  " a Toulouse-Lautrec, a Helen Keller, or even a Lord Byron."
