I agree that it's not eugenics, at least not as we normally think of it, but it's definitely edging into GATTACA territory.

Read the other comment eugenics won't be realistic in a capitalist environment class division would be more common.

Try reading MY comment. You are talking about a central element of the movie GATTACA from 1997. I know it's old and many younger people haven't seen it so I provided a link to the Wikipedia article about the film.

This issue was widely discussed, at least in American society, almost 30 years ago. The film is still heavily referenced in any discussion involving bio-ethics and genetic manipulation.
