It means that in developed countries there is almost no natural selection, and it's unethical to weed out weak genes synthetically because that's called a holocaust.

Actually weeding out "weak" genes is eugenics, it is increasingly done without genocide. This appears to be a larger ethical issue today (and certainly in the 60s and 70s) than during the holocaust.
