I have read a number of comments from people with illnesses or other issues that are genetic, saying they don't want to pass their problems onto the next generation.

So, bizarrely enough, there is a certain amount of eugenics happening, it's just purely voluntary.

It's the top-down nature of the eugenics movement that made it so morally repugnant. "We decide who's fit to have kids."
