Me.
There are also eugenics engineers.
So i guess you are literally correct. There is not a 'single' person but rather a multitude of persons.
Why do you all think you would be able to design biological systems better? As a student who focuses on cellular biology, it is really annoying to hear someone say that. I don't think you know what you are messing with.
And they want to improve the health of the gene pool, which I think we all want to do. From my perspective, this would not be fixing a bad design, it would be correcting mutations that have accumulated in our population after the creation event.
