Did you actually read the whole OP or just decided to troll a little? This has exactly zero relevance to the topic at hand. I'm talking about our perceptions on desirable and undesirable traits for individuals in our society, and not what we want as a partner because you can find pretty much all combinations of two or more partners.
I explained the most simple definition of eugenics. It is wanting a higher prevalence of individuals with traits the proposer of the idea sees as more desirable (usually ability, intelligence, strength and in the case of Hitler race) - The degree to what it is done varies a lot and so do methods.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
