My proof was the article on eugenics I linked from Encyclopedia 
Britannica, your proof is (checks notes) "Wrong.".

Wow, that sure showed me.

Is your reading comprehension naturally that bad, or are you 
deliberately obtuse?

Influencing the personal choice of other people is not the same thing as 
as making a personal choice for yourself.

For a parallel, attempting suicide may or may not be a crime (but it is 
that person's choice), but talk someone else into committing suicide, 
and you can be prosecuted for manslaughter or worse.

Aaand there's  the body of your proof. An ad-hominem. Because that's the 
best you can do.
