euphenics
A scientific term for the improvement of human biological traits through environmental or medical intervention, distinct from eugenics. Rare outside academic contexts.
Euphenics is a field that improves human traits through environment or medicine rather than genes themselves.
優生学 (eugenics) focuses on genetic selection or manipulation, while 人間改造学 (euphenics) aims to improve traits through non-genetic means such as medicine or environmental changes.
Compound of 人間 (human), 改造 (remodeling, improvement), and 学 (study). A modern academic coinage corresponding to English 'euphenics'.
