Maybe not but leaving rapists to roam free and continue raping people doesn't seem to do a whole lot of good for society either, does it?

Bro, I got the steps right here:
-
obtain DNA from the remains of Albert Einstein, or Stephen Hawking, or Marie Curie, or whatever smart fucker you please
-
Clone up some geniuses who get all the best schooling, free ride for life, with today's internet and technology to augment them
-
Give them a billion dollars each for the trouble of being lab rats but after they are grown and as smart as can be, they agree to let us have a little blob of them good brains.
-
rinse and repeat a few times until we have super geniuses. We can probably take genius sperm and genius eggs and made super brain babies too
-
keep going along these routes for awhile and eventually save up tons of the very best brains we got
-
clone the brains and implant them in every human at birth with a little syringe right in their soft spot
Boom. Humanity is saved. DM me my Nobel Prize.
