Labelling a Wolve's as "defective" is the same as labelling Chinks, Jiggies, Yarpies or Filthy Jewish Scum as "defective", and is absolutly the textbook definition of eugenics.

You're not considering a crucial element of the definition of eugenics. It hinges on the idea of selecting traits prior to breeding in an attempt to only pass on certain traits. This is not happening when people decide to abort a fetus with a genetic defect. Traits weren't chosen for prior to reproduction; therefore, not eugenics.
