In many countries of the European Union, abortions are performed on women after knowledge of down syndrome in the embryo. In some countries this disease has almost disappeared from the population. And according to MIT news in recent months, we are now on the verge of being able to detect other diseases such as some form of diabetes.


We must not forget that we can also already suppress HIV in births, even if for this virus, the probability of seeing it disappear from the population is much lower.


All this means that in a few years the countries of the European Union will be able to create populations almost disease-free at birth.


The definition of eugenics is :



> 
> the study of or belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics).

And we already know that [article 3 of EU charter of human rights prohibit "eugenics practices".](https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/article/3-right-integrity-person)


My first question is : Why does practices are not considered as eugenics practices following EU charter of human rights ? And my second question is : If it is proven that the constitution of human rights does not prevent such abortions, does this mean that it does not prevent abortions based on the probabilities of the height or IQ of the future child either?



Is abortion of children with Down's syndrome legal in EU?
