- Eugenics (also known as selective breeding) was the philosophy or practice of selectively breeding traits into or out of a group of organisms. While widely-used in botany and horticulture, eugenics via genetic engineering in sentient lifeforms was illegal in the Federation, except in cases of medical necessity. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume"; VOY: "Lineage") In the 1st millennium BC, there was a mass eugenics program on the planet Sahndara. Individuals were bred for contemplation, self-reliance, and longevity. The number of individuals generated by the program was pared down to thirty-eight. This group was later discovered by the USS Enterprise in 2268 on the planet Platonius. (TOS: "Plato's Stepchildren" ) In the late twentieth century, Human scientists on Earth used eugenics programs to attempt to improve the Human species. The recipients of these modifications, known as Augments, seized control in over forty nations. They fought amongst each other in what became known as the Eugenics Wars. (TOS: "Space Seed" ; ENT: "The Augments") Kodos used his own personal theory of eugenics when killing 4,000 people on Tarsus IV in 2246. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King" ) In 2266, Captain James T. Kirk accused Doctor Roger Korby of practicing eugenics when Korby explained his wish to selectively replace Humans with superior capacity androids. (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" ) The Dominion used selective breeding on the Jem'Hadar and the Vorta.

Those are: private voluntary eugenics, and enforced eugenics. There are different methods of eugenics. There is non-technological eugenics, which consists only of selective breeding, and there is technology-assisted eugenics, which utilizes embryo screening.

(TOS - Khan comic: "Issue 1"; DS9 episode: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume"; TOS episode: "Space Seed"; et al.) The ancient Vulcans in their early years were known to employ a primitive form of eugenics in order to promote more valuable psionic as well as other talents into one's clan through marriages that were carefully planned by the elders of the House. (TOS novel: Spock's World) In 2254, when a lost colony of violent and emotional Vulcans was discovered by the USS Enterprise, Spock described the disruptive effect of returning the inhabitants to Vulcan as being comparable to a lost colony of Khan Noonien Singh's Augment warriors arriving at Earth. (EV comic: "Cloak and Dagger") Years later, Spock was aboard Enterprise when the vessel did just that—finding Khan and a group of his followers on the SS Botany Bay. (TOS episode: "Space Seed") The Romulans' attempt at eugenics resulted in the "forgotten" children on Hellguard. Years later, the Romulan Star Empire attempted to "correct" their mistakes by having the survivors killed. Their plans were thwarted by Saavik. (TOS novel: Unspoken Truth) The Hortas of Janus VI employed selective breeding to steadily improve themselves by choosing the best of their generation to be the sole mother of the next generation of Hortas, resulting in their species being remarkably civilized and intelligent. (TOS novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 1)
