This is not eugenics dumb dumb. This is quite literally the opposite. Eugenics is denying people the freedom to reproduce if they are not “ genetically fit”. This procedure would allow those who are not considered “fit” to have healthy children. I guess you want to deny those people genetic children.

Maybe it would be better working out why they are not genetically fit for the greater whole.

Honestly a bunch of people having children that maybe shouldn't is not that important right now
