i genuinely believe some paths are better than others.
if it gets rid of the issues, it's fine. i'm willing to pay the price. if someone gets mad over that, so be it.
the quickest path to the answer is always the better path. some would rather spare their feelings and take the long path, not me.
I'm with you there. If you know your kid is going to come out defective or less than they could / should. Why bring it to term. Why not let that thing go and take another swing.
Biggest fear with having kids is being stuck with one of those kids I'll be stuck babysitting for life. The kind of kid who is literally doomed when I die because they can not survive without constant oversight. There goes my life wasted taking care of somebody who can't realistically appreciate life. Basically the doom of damocles on steroids imo.
I know the social justards are having a field day pushing their 'diversity' and 'inclusive' shit everywhere and they can fuck off as usual...but nah, I'm happy for this kid. Let him have his fun and I hope he enjoys it.
Paladin Bash has spoken.
no, i said genetic disorders should be culled from the gene pool, not the people with them. i said you should be sterilized, not killed.
my self-hate is based on something much more important than spitballing ideals of my personal perfect world, i can assure you. it's so much more well deserved.

yes, half-baked, because it's not a serious idea really. just an intangible ideal of a world i view as perfect.
i wish it were possible. but it's not.
In the first person, no. However, I have read many accounts from these people and they seem fairly split. There's your obvious we love him regardless crowd, and then there's we're dead inside and have been for a long time crowd. Wouldn't want to risk that, which is why I don't have kids.

Seems like a BIT of an over-reaction.
Probably, and that's where I'm from and why I can't risk having kids. If something happens my life as I know it is effectivley over with little to no support from anyone. It's not that kids fault and it's not fair but if that happens I will secretly resent that kid. It sounds awful I know, but at least I know this about myself and know I don't want to be put in that situation so I avoid it.

I haven't said one word about the kid in the original topic, I think that's awesome. I've been discussing this sub-topic. I'll admit my views are probably less virtuous than some but it's not like i'm the hittler dude in this thread claiming people should be culled. Just that I don't think I could handle having a mentally deficient kid, so I don't / won't have any.
no thanks, i will continue to do as i please.
but like i said, the thread's way off topic, so it shouldn't be continued here.

lets be real here, he's not getting a lucky break.
he's getting a pity gesture thrown his way. my realism says it's probably only happening because someone thinks they can get some media goodboy points for it.
i wouldn't want to live a life of getting shit out of pity and never understanding that's the only reason people are doing it.

Honestly, I'm just really not afraid, to be honest about it. I mean you guys are welcome to flame me for it, but it wouldn't really be in any way productive or have any effect. At least here we could have a reasonably adult conversation without resorting to name calling, at least right up until the end.
How many people wouldn't genetically alter their kids if they knew something was going to be wrong with them otherwise. Is essentially what this amounts to. They're legally just a clump of cells until X weeks. Since we know that, there's nothing morally incorrect with solving issues before X weeks.
