We give genetic testing to every person for free at a few of their regular checkups with their primary care doctor.
If you test positive for some genetic markers, you get free IVF, paid for by the government. If you have some kind of anti-IVF bent, it's not mandatory, just a benefit you aren't using. The IVF process picks embryos that have the least undesirable traits - but you will definitely have a kid and it will be yours.
You have eugenics and no forced sterilization, no murdering people, nothing.
It still won't work, but you have ethical eugenics.
