Genetic Testing is well and growing. Leads to embryo selection implicitly, which is not so far from eugenics.

A good example is French Canadian region Lac St Jean where parents are allowed to select their embryo considering rare diseases present in the region :

Thieum22··on Motivating posters for your startup
When I see those, I always remember the quote from Peopleware - DeMarco / Lister :

"These motivational accessories, as they are called (including slogan coffee mugs, plaques, pins, key chains, and awards), are a triumph of form over substance. They seem to extol the importance of Quality, Leadership, Creativity, Teamwork, Loyalty, and a host of other organizational virtues. But they do so in such simplistic terms as to send an entirely different message: Management here believes that these virtues can be improved with posters rather than by hard work and managerial talent. Everyone quickly understands that the presence of the posters is a sure sign of the absence of hard work and talent."
