Changing it wouldn't make a difference, everyone using that logic isn't basing their end goal on it, simply using it to justify their feelings.
Hell it took a while for me to understand the benefit of such improvements, and it had nothing to do with genetics. My problem was few people talk about the socio-economic impacts on capabilities, and the fact that counteracting programs can theoretically stop the death spiral in those groups.
However there are a lot of people who can't get over "not like me" and think the whole thing is a waste because it takes away from "hard working young men".
