"The system of eugenics in "Brave New World" directly controlled the genes of the babies that were produced in the birthing labs."

What are you talking about? They were manipulating the gestational environment, including adding alcohol to the chamber for the Episilons to lower intelligence. They weren't doing any genetic engineering.

"That's a far cry from "good prenatal care available on an income basis." "

Nope, it directly correlates. Those on the top, stay there because they get all the advantages early on. Plus, they get better food, health care, housing, etc. Those on the bottom, can't get a foothold because they can't get any of those things.
