While I suppose such filtration or source DNA would technically be eugenics, I think it is par for the course in general when people are choosing samples to use. My experience in this area is limited to cliches used in television, but wanting a donor who is successful (say a Harvard Grad) seems to be the norm.
That gets a little weird for me in terms or projects goals to do in humans. IVF within the project would be complicated and expensive (as it is in real life). I can see some use in animals, but I think that is about as far as my project would go in that area.
I suppose the final decision would depend on my timeline and if there was some project "magic" that made it cost effective.
