Is it eugenics?

Okay so for context, my mom (48) has Huntington disease and knew she had it well before she had me and my sister.

I've argued a lot with ppl on the internet about how if you know 100% that you have HD that you shouldn't have children not only because they may have HD but because they have to see you completely change and rot away (talking about experience) and I've been called a eugenists for that.

I'm currently battling against depression because I started being my mom's primary care at 13 against my will bc other ppl in my family said that it was the least I could do for my single mother (passing over the fact that she was a POS mom and was abusive).

But In brief, is it eugenics to say that people w/ HD shouldn't have children if they know they have it?
