Plato tried to argue that eugenics was important for society going forward, and although this is much more advanced, it’s a similar way of constructing a perfect society. Is it ethically correct? Used in the right context, I’d say yes, but you know how dumb humans can be. And there’ll be a race on tonnage the first real Frankenstein because one country or the other wants to be the “most advanced”.

This may be true. It's undeniable that there are secret research facilities that are essentially above the law. Eugenics may have advantages but it comes as a cost. Take WW2 for example, creating an us vs. them societal structure can be incredibly reckless and dangerous.
Can you cite where Plato wrote this?
