Its pretty much the only thing that's totally outside the bounds of morality and a civilized society

I *genuinely* do not understand this. I get how forced eugenics is horrific, but eugenics doesn't *mean* that it's forced, right? It could be voluntary?

More interesting than the gist of the results: having two negative option ("horrific" vs. merely "bad") visually skews the impact of the results.
Many polls use similar techniques with more subtlety.

Pretty bad, doesn't achieve anything. If everyone is six feet tall then nobody is tall in that society, all human characteristics can be classified as good or bad only relative to others.

Every time you choose to date someone who's attractive over someone who's not, you're practicing eugenics, like it or not.

In my experience the more someone is pro eugenics the more autistic they tend to be.

First one!
I think the premise involves an authority determining what is "good" or desireable, and we are already off to a bad start IMO.
Small groups of people can self select all they want. Govt imposed eugenics? No fucking way.
