"Eugenicis is hardly "Darwinistic". At best it's a perversion of evolution, attempting to force-fit biological events to a social structure."

No it is not a perversion of evolution, it is the heart of evolution. Darwin himself advocated eugenics in his Descent of Man, as I already showed on this thread.

And I pointed out that while Darwin expressed concern over humans having "defeated" natural selection with doctors treating the sick and prolonging the lives of those who are "weaker" (with lowered constitution) he did not suggest any kind of a "solution" to his concerns.

Even had he suggested such, it would have been part of his philosophy, not a part of biological evolution. Biological evolution and extensions thereof deals with what happens in biology, not what people should make happen.
