Pure speculation. The same kind of statement came from social darwinism. The only sort of reckless genetic defects come from thinning the gene pool (incestual lines of kings...). If you look too closely at a tapestry, and start pulling at threads from fear of imperfection, the tapestry unravels and becomes undone.
When changes come, and they do come, success is always by the most adaptable, from the most diverse. Static models stagnate and die.

Wrong.
A lethal genotype is one that would kill an organism. If you for instance sugically repair the heart or remove the cancer growth it was still a lethal genotype by definition.
We are evolving technology/society at the expsense of of human biology.
