Do you oppose abortion when the fetus has Down Syndrome? Do you oppose preimplantation genetic diagnosis so parents can avoid having children with cystic fibrosis or other debilitating genetic diseases? To my way of thinking, having those options available to parents is beneficial, even though it's eugenics.
I would not call that kind of thing eugenics, because eugenics refers in our culture (and you referred to it as well) the 1920s movement in America that inspired the Germans (the Nazis). Selective breeding to improve the race. This was long before any such technological feats existed.
