    It doesn’t really seem like in either situation I described that the treatment-enhancement gap has been breached.

    There is no PGD, we are considering Star Trek levels of scanning technology. Both situations resulted from natural fertilisation, there was no group of potentials to select from.

    The goal of eugenics, is unambiguously, to breed for some ideal. This resulted in some pretty dark times in the recent past.

    Realistically, a lot of medical technology today is the antithesis of the eugenic ideal. Allowing those, who in the past, would have died from various causes to live. We at a species are the stronger for it.
