It is clear that technologies related to medicine and genetics, especially genetic engineering and eugenics, have grown significantly in recent decades. These advances have led to prevention of abnormalities and treatment of diseases. However, it seems the use of genetic engineering and eugenics and the possibility of irresponsible and profitable use of these technologies it's worrying. Hence, some moral philosophers say that to use eugenics’ methods it is morally wrong. Because the result of eugenics is injustice. In this study, while referring to the meaning and types of eugenics and related ethical issues, moral considerations to eugenics are explained and analyzed with emphasis and focus on the violation of justice and with analysis and explanation, it becomes clear that with some wise decisions, injustice caused to eugenic can be prevented or reduced.
