Please note:

Currently the RationalWiki article on eugenics has a section called "Modern eugenics" and a distinction is made between "private voluntary eugenics" and "mandatory eugenics". The fact checkers have aimed two "[citation needed]s" suggesting that such terms are not found in a wp:reliable source, or something. Some might argue that aborting a fetus for a genetic flaw, would not be completely voluntary for the fetus. Perhaps a better term would be "pro-choice eugenics".
