  Aug 3 2011: " It is now man's ability to accumulate monetary wealth and possessions [that determines the 'fittest']". OK. But the problem is that even the ones who aren't wealthy still live thanks to our technological improvements, therefore passing the genes to the next generation. Which means that those who aren't "the fittest" still survive and pass on their genes, which is basically the same as ending natural selection (that leads to evolution), in my point of view.
  
  And yes, the movie "Idiocracy" captures this idea (in a exaggerated and funny way)
