down syndrome is a random error and usually renders the person infertile, it's not heritable & cannot be "eliminated" in any permanent way except by continuously killing the kids who get it

I know you are trying to signal your radical Nietzschean bona fides but he was actually not that interested in the slavish utilitarian calculus of the state
