Where the vast vast majority of creatures are either predated or die of hunger.
Arguments that depends on replicating evolution, socially, are either naive or highly morally dubious. Eugenics would, of course, lead to more populations with more 'desirable' traits: healthier and more productive, on average. That doesn't stop it being repugnant. Economic eugenics in the service of higher GDP is no better.
