Eugenics never went away, we just stopped calling it eugenics.

Modern forms of family planning that include access to birth control, genetic testing, abortions, and prenatal screening can empower individuals to make choices that they feel will bring about the healthiest and happiest progeny. That's eugenics.

We as a society should continue to allow individuals to make these kinds of choices rather than leave it up to fate or a central authority.

But if a billionaire wants eugenics well that's different then.
