I mean this in a way to give a child the best start at life. Instead of having to worry about heart disease or addiction or something else. And if people have an immunity to one thing that the other does not. We take the gene from the first person to create a medicine for the other person. I think it gets a bad rap because Hitler. To put it another way. If a person who is 80 and has an immunity to diabieties or cancer or whatever. And we can take that gene and put it into a new born so the kid never has to worry about it.

That's gene editing, not eugenics. Taking an already created embryo and messing with it would be gene editing.

Eugenics is a government deciding you have undesirable characteristics so they sterilize you, or deciding you have desirable characteristics so they breed you.
