The issue with eugenics isn't the fundamental science, it's that the "elites" in charge of it are simply loaded with cognitive biases to support their (often inherited, arbitrary, or fortunate) positions.
Almost all solutions to actually solving environmentalism and sustainability at a long term global level involve lots of complicated policies which seemingly can only be accomplished with a higher degrees of altruism, better intelligence of multiple flavors, etc.

We kind of NEED a general increase to intellect and ability. Also would save on rising health care costs.
Ironically, we'd need some sort of eugenics for the ruling elite to truly raise them to a point that they could then responsibly apply eugenics to the rest of the population.
The "elite" will probably start doing this in the next 50 years. Honestly I'm shocked it hasn't started in my lifetime (I'm ~50 years old)
