You specifically left out the "a science" part, which is also part of the "kids'" definition for eugenics.
eugenics noun eu·gen·ics yu̇-ˈjen-iks : a science that deals with the improvement of inherited qualities of a race or breed and especially of human beings
Removing the "a" from the beginning completely changes the meaning of the word, which is why you did it.
Shame.
I'm not native speaker so please excuse my stupid question. How does the "a" change the meaning? My language doesn't even have articles so I have troubles with using them or understanding such nuances.
