The rub is the "good of mankind" part. Who determines this?
Such statements have historically been used to justify brutal eugenics programs. If a government decides that the genes carried by a particular ethnic group should be eliminated "for the good of mankind" and uses genetic engineering to accomplish that goal against the will of the people involved, the results might be akin to the Holocaust.
