If you look 100 years ago, people with Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, etc. never made it to reproduction. With modern medicine, we keep those folks alive much longer and thus they have an opportunity to reproduce and pass on the genes.
It's not PC, but it's true.

It is eugenics. You are making the case for a master race, not necessarily racially pure, and certainly not in a Nazi sense, but you are basically saying that the genetically inferior in intelligence or physical health will cause the species to decline by reproducing (which was/is the foundation of eugenics). Do you see evidence of this? Do you see humans, as a species, getting physically weaker, having increasingly shorter lifespans, and having less intelligence? Conversely do you see the opportunity for selective breeding to produce a strain of humans with superior health, strength, industry, and intelligence?
