Eh, eugenics work. If not dog breeds wouldn't exist.
We're just really, really bad at agreeing on what genes are good ones and attempts at filtering for good genes in humans tend to more or less immediately become about skin color because of course they do. And also it being basically impossible to do without massive human rights violations.
But being difficult, massively immoral and unethical and usually in practice just an excuse for simple racism doesn't mean it doesn't work.
Eh I mostly don't disagree, hell eliminating conditions like Huntington's disease could qualify as eugenics so I don't really have an issue with it in concept. Problem is if there's a system in place for widespread eugenics some asshole is gonna use it for a genocide.
Wiping out Huntington's would be a genocide in the most literal possible sense.
To be fair, if not for the whole massively immoral and unethical part, we could wipe out Huntington's in a generation or two with mandatory testing and sterilizations. But again that whole massively immoral and unethical thing.
