I've never understood it myself. When birth control is something freely chosen by a woman, it does not constitute a eugenics practice. In contrast, the forced or coerced sterilization of Native Americans in the US constitutes eugenics.

The problem with eugenics, besides the fact that it's unethical, is that restricting the gene pool is never good for a species.
All the stupid questions I see every day on this site have made me think that maybe eugenics isn't such a bad idea, after all.

Charles Darwin did not directly address eugenics in his work on evolution. However, some individuals later used his theory of natural selection to support eugenics, the idea of improving the human population through selective breeding. This interpretation of Darwin's work contributed to the development of eugenics as a concept in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Eugenics in criminology is the theory that criminal behavior is inherited and can be controlled through selective breeding to eliminate "undesirable" traits. This concept has been widely discredited and is considered unethical and discriminatory. Eugenics has been used in the past to justify various forms of discrimination and human rights violations.

Eugenics is a theory that by selecting humans for breeding according to race, health, etc. it is possible to create a race of people that is superior to others.
Unfortunately, many ethical issues arise when eugenics is involved. Often times it is associated with racism, involves selective sterilization, and can even go as far as to suggest the euthanasia of people who aren't useful for the gene pool.
I've written an interesting commentary on my site on one particular physicians opinion that happens to be based in eugenics.

Eugenics poses ethical concerns by promoting discrimination, stereotyping, and violation of human rights. It can lead to the marginalization and oppression of certain groups based on arbitrary criteria, perpetuating inequality and undermining diversity. Additionally, eugenics fails to recognize the value of all individuals regardless of their genetic makeup and can have unforeseen negative consequences on society.
