Oh, wouldn't it be like:
Natural selection + modern (non-survival-based) society/culture's ever-changing desires = pseudoeugenics.
Semantic conflict applies to the bingo'd post above but I did think it was a useful point in that what is "most fit to reproduce" has changed from quantifiable physical superiority to completely trivial details like hair color and bust size. Just ask the average college guy what he wants to stick his wang in for the answer. Social anthropology in action.
It was already stated that natural selection doesn't play much of a part anymore. Any retarded 400 pound couch anchor can make babies and due to all the wonderful advances in technology and government... like megamarts and minivans and MySpace... the meek have indeed inherited the Earth.
Not right or wrong, of course. Just how it is, I suppose.

Humility / Ego:
I'd imagine a lot of people would be in favor of ridding the world of defective human beings... as long as it isn't someone they know or their own creation.

Genetics: Take one for the team.
