Remove every unhealthy person and/or gene modify existing ones to eliminate every allergy orbodily defect caused by gene defect.

Also gene modify so that theres no mental detorioration and humans die just because they are old and the nody can't keep up with maintenance.

That's not even unethical, we just have bioconservatives in charge.

Remove every unhealthy person

Well that seems very unethical.

About gene modification, assuming it were to fully work without risks, it would still only be ethical if the patient were to consent, which not everyone would.
