preventing down syndrome is "eugenics"?
Technically, 99% of Down's cases aren't hereditary (it's a spontaneous mitotic change), so you don't "improve the gene pool" by excluding it; as far as we know, basically anybody can have a kid with Down's syndrome if the mitotic dice come up snake eyes.
(But in the sense most people understand the term? Yes.)
Just because something is labeled "eugenics" doesn’t automatically make it bad or good—outcomes depend on how ideas are applied.
Historically, eugenics didn’t have genetic tools, so efforts focused on social policies, like promoting abortion or family planning, to influence who could reproduce.
