That’s not eugenics.

It’s selective breeding to get certain genetic qualities, which is the definition of eugenics

It’s avoiding bad outcomes. Babies from closely related people often have problems. Practically every culture has a method of avoiding close relatives breeding

Eugenics is about breeding for desirable qualities, a eugenicist’s ideal person still couldn’t make good kids with a close relative

Avoiding bad genetics is desirable. Just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it isn’t eugenics
