And while eugenics is often greeted with moral disgust due to its affiliation with certain historical atrocities, such as the Holocaust, it is important to understand that the intention of eugenics isn’t to rid the world of “undesirable” people, but is rather to prevent needless suffering by avoiding specific genetic traits known to cause disease.
