Gene editing is not eugenics. Eugenics are managed human breeding programs. Gene editing is gene editing.
In fact, gene editing completely removes the need for eugenics programs.

The wealthy are already engaged in eugenics via IVF embryo selection. There are several American startups whose clientele are mainly rich SV types that want to optimize the genetics of their children.

I feel bad for those kids. Imagine having an issue that wasn't caught and your parents now see you as defective goods.

You call it eugenics, I call it biohacking ;)
