Shockingly, Arduous Huxley was for eugenics. The idea became "unthinkable" for him after ww2, not because it implies a lot of weird ideas about the human species, but because the Germans at the time took it to places where it was found to end up (although I'm not sure he gave up on the idea in his 1946 intro).
