And your argument fails because it assumes absolute homeostasis is possible or indeed that human nature is monolithic/universal in the first place. We will change as a matter of fact, and
we can either influence that process wisely or ignore/deny its relevance at our own peril.

It's funny that you place 'for the greater good' in scare quotes, then go on to talk about loving humanity (as if it's a monolithic whole) and the 'costly means' of eugenics. Costly to whom? Why is it so costly? Isn't subsidizing the procreation of the weak as we currently do -- rapidly inflating a consuming population -- going to be the most costly policy of all?

As to your "What's the point?", I find this to be the most pertinent question:
Would you rather have existed as some kind of ancestor rodent than a human? Why not?
