There's a lot of good points being brought up against this idea.
The first comparison that came to my mind is Hitler. This idea doesn't directly kill the people, but it certainly could be condemning them to die sooner, rather than later. That's not really fair, is it? It's discrimination of an incredibly high level.
Genetically "perfect" people can be completely useless jackasses, and genetically "impure" people can contribute much to society. If you go by pure scientifics, you might get away with the idea. But there's a moral aspect too. It's not right to condemn people because they've had the misfortune to be born a certain way or to contract a specific disease.
