I agree, though one could make the argument that our modern nanny states have been pretty brutal at enforcing health policies during covid, and if they convince themselves that they can eradicate certain diseases by mandating DNA patching or pregnancy terminations, them doing so "for our own good" is in the realm of the possible.

But we are in coercion territory. What I am saying that we already practice eugenics without coercion, we just don't call it that.

As far as I can tell, our modern nanny states haven't been 'pretty brutal at enforce health policies during covid'.

I agree that there were pretty strong restrictions, many of them unnecessary. But in most places the population was pretty compliant or otherwise ignored the demands. I don't remember much brutality.

What's your evidence for brutality?

Vaccine mandates are an entirely different game than "this kind of life has no right to existence".
