Cocytus 10/19/18 11:28:41 AM #18:	Not exactly, but you have to remember that the child might be a blessing to you, and selectively aborting babies with health problems or defects is a type of artificial selection that we're supposed to avoid if possible, especially since the Nazis used this practice to try and make a pure aryan race. It begs the question, where does it end? If we agree down syndrome babies should be aborted, what about any baby with a health problem? Should we abort babies with asthma, diabetes, missing limb, deaf, etc.? Insurmountable health problems fall onto a subjective spectrum when we think of what health problems we will or won't tolerate. <cite>Cocytus posted [p:910796560] in Is it mora...

If you're saying babies with down syndrome don't go on to live happy lives, idk where you're getting that from. I've known a few people with down syndrome and they always seemed happier than everyone else around them. I still don't see anything wrong with aborting it though. Raising a child with it will take much more effort and will most likely mean the parent will have to care for them into adulthood.

People should just not have kids and then they'll never have to go through pain and die. No arguments there.

The opposite, it's morally wrong to bring a sick child into existence I think theres an argument for this tbh That is just a world of suffering. I work in a school, and Down syndrome isnt even the worst of it. Weve got some kids in a wheelchair with no use of their limbs that do nothing but gurgle, screech, and blow snot bubbles... Im sorry, but what is the point? Well what's the point of having kids at all if they all will get sick and die one day? People should just not have kids and then they'll never have to go through pain and die. Im not even going to address your replies if youre not going to even put in an attempt to be intellectually honest Do what you want. It's a serious question. We're trying to decide which sick kids should be aborted and a natural conclusion from that idea is to never have kids so they'll never go through pain. <cite>Cocytus posted [p:910799595] in Is it mora...

I don't think it's unethical, but we should be honest that it is a form of eugenics. We need to start thinking more about eugenics in general. We should want humans to have the genes that will lead to them having the best shot at happy and fulfilling lives. --- [This signature was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator] <cite>Sativa_Rose posted [p:910799678] in Is it mora...
