I believe in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species. I don't think "especially by such means as x" means necessarily by such means as x. Also, I don't think positive eugenics has to be systematic, and it certainly doesn't have to be involuntary.
Rights are only relevant to negative eugenics.
