Yes, modifying genetics to select for "desirable" traits and remove "undesirable" ones is essentially modern liberal eugenics.
Just because something is labeled "eugenics" doesn’t automatically make it bad or good—outcomes depend on how ideas are applied.
Historically, eugenics didn’t have genetic tools, so efforts focused on social policies, like promoting abortion or family planning, to influence who could reproduce.
