No, because I`m making it quite clear that I`m not proposing that we wipe out those that we deem imperfect by mass slaughter. I see there being a vast gulf between the actions of Hitler and merely ensuring that future generations are improved, no detrimental action is being taken against the current generations.
As for your second point, this isn't a case of making a children more loveable, engineering humans to survive in adverse environments certainly doesn't fit into my idea of factors that define loveability, for want of a better word. It is an issue of taking evolution into our own hands and guiding the development of the human race as a whole.
Evolution is, at a base level, survival of the fittest. That can be through strength, intelligence, suitability for the environment, other factors. This is merely a case of applying intelligence to improve fitness.
