You make it sound like it's a bad thing.
You know, just because the Nazis made bad use of Nietzsche, eugenics, fascism, warfare, the swastika, and a lot of other things, doesn't mean we shouldn't ever make use of them again.
I think it is a bad thing, and not because of the connection with NaZis.
1) I disagree that any government should wield that sort of power at all over its own citizenry.
2) Such a program would almost certainly reduce the genetic diversity of the species, with results that are unforeseeable but potentially disastrous.
