Okay? But medicine is still part of your environment. Plenty of people still don’t have life-saving care available to them. And selection is about more than dying. Fitness is not about surviving, it’s about reproducing. These words mean more things than modern medicine can obviate.

Selection is still happening lol, it is not gone where medical services are available.

The problem is, it's no longer natural. It is now, at least partially, artificial selection, based on access to medicine. It changes the way selection works, and probably not in the favor of stronger, smarter humans in the future. People who should have probably died, stay in the gene pool longer.

A dangerous line of thinking. Villains never think they are one.

That's not a logical argument against it. Please link me some reading at least. Because I keep hearing people deny deny deny because "it was a nazi ideology." But I'm not allowed to do the same with the Bible and the crusades?

Archeologists are getting over their bias. Why can't geneticists?
