"safe place" if by safe you mean agents of chaos and lulz. Hard no.
Eugenics is a formalized version of natural selection. Instead of shunning people with bad genes, or undesirable traits we are starting to be able to use technology to fix those traits for the betterment of the species.
Obviously people can do such in bad faith, and sometimes eugenics is an atrocity. The Holocaust was an atrocity. The stuff China is doing is too. There are many other examples throughout history of eugenics done wrong. It's good to be against those uses of the term. Means you have an understanding of right and wrong.
But using gene editing to prevent disabilities and birth defects is not a bad use of eugenics. I highly doubt any child who
should have deaf is going to say when they get older, gee I sure wish I couldn't hear my kitten purr!, it's just not going to happen. Yet that's eugenics, selecting and fixing things that have a grouping, a culture, because it's better for the individuals to not be disabled.
You know, he does like racing games. I think you're on to something.
