Why is it considered eugenics to want to abort a disabled fetus so they don't suffer in life Anonymous 162388
A lot of people are against aborting fetuses that will be born with a type of disability, even if it's serious and/or life threatening. Why is it wrong to do so? Wouldn't it be better to abort to save them (and the mother) a life of suffering?
I understand that people with disabiities are still able to function in society. But they still have hardships and wouldn't it be better to take that chance away from the baby? And it's not only pro lifers that claim it's eugenics, I actually see more pro choice and leftists saying this. I'm genuinely wondering why it's immoral.

It's not your decision to say whether or not someone is suffering. Only the person themselves can say that. Plus, it's your own opinion whether suffering is worse than non existence.
Fundamentally it's all about the individual. No individual should have their life taken from them just because others have decided that for them.
Anonymous 162393
>>162390Yes I realize that, but I'm talking about fetuses… babies who aren't even born yet, not people who are actually living. If a disability is detected during conception, they haven't yet even had a chance to live so is it eugenics to abort it? Isn't it essentially like aborting any other fetus, no?

People with Down syndrome aren’t all innocent. There is a male downie I’m an acquaintance of and he’s the biggest coomer in the world. Hentai, jacking off in front of people, trying to pinch his caregiver’s ass. Fucking gross scrote. They’re the same as normal people they just don’t have high intelligence or a concept of consequences.

Money and corruption, and anyone that doesn't see this is uninformed. Big Pharma loves tard babies because of all the expenses it'll be, though the US government feels bad about this and gibs out to help cover some of it, though some parents unironically just embezzle all the handouts for themselves and give bare minimum care to their genetic mistake.
There are absolutely not enough studies out there to determine the quality of life of the born-disabled, because those that are so quick to cry "EUGENICS BAD" usually have some other unhealthy agenda in mind.

>>162399Collectivists deserve what happens to them.
>>162501>It's completely neutral.A life prior to being lived is neither good nor bad. Whether you think it's moral to have a kid would depend on whether you assume the good in life outweighs the bad - which is an opinion. If you believe life is a net positive then nonexistence is a worse fate than the suffering you'd otherwise experience.

Suffering is subjective and most of it is mental, not physical. I would say the average depressed able bodied person suffers more than the average downie.

>>162551Correct. What we really need to do improve the world is weed out all personality disorders, psychopathy, depression etc. And I’m amazed that the study of ‘eugenics’ doesn’t focus more on this aspect, rather than trying to make beautiful but ultimately miserable soulless specimens of perfect health and beauty (newsflash: beautiful but soulless/miserable beings already exist and there’s millions of them on tiktok) Mental illness, sociopathy/psychopathy, narcissism, severe anxiety and depression are the real problem that plagues this world. Existence is pointless if you can’t even be happy or joyful. Even disabled people are generally better at being happy than good looking or intelligent ‘normies’.

>I actually see more pro choice and leftists saying this. I'm genuinely wondering why it's immoral.It's because they're not really pro-choice or fully acting on their principles. I see "pro-choicers" who handwring over this because they're disabled and are sad over the idea that their mother would abort them or whatever. But they are letting their feelings get in the way of their politics.
>>162614Yes, actually. I find that immoral on a personal level but my opinion on it is the same as aborting disabled fetuses. A woman choosing to abort for non-PC reasons isn't eugenics, it's eugenics if it's mandated by the government, like in China.
An individual doesn't have that much power even if their opinions are offensive. I'd rather a woman abort a disabled fetus (or a girl in this case) than force to give birth to it, resent it, and abuse it, and later just kill it as a kid, which is something I see in the news constantly.

If you wouldn’t love your kid just because it’s disabled then you would probably make a horrible parent and it’s better that you’d abort it anyway. Abortion in itself is eugenics in that it stops psychopathic, superficial and irresponsible people from procreating more.
Anonymous 162665
>>162657I lol'd a little at this. Taking responsibility for what you bring into the world and the quality of your children's lives is not psychopathic, superficial or irresponsible. It's the most responsible thing you can do. You understand that somewhere along the line, your genetic code messed up and now it will result in a lower quality of life for your child and you. So you stop that mistake before it becomes a bigger one.
The funny thing is, abortion is the compromise. Men forget that we could always go back to the days when women who had children who would be a burden to them and the family were left to die on a hill, or left on the composting manure piles so that anyone could raise them as a slave.

Come on sis, you’re on cc, chances are you’re on the spectrum yourself so it’s inevitable your kid would come out autistic regardless. Your future children are also at higher risk for miscarriage, premature birth, disability and birth complications. But like I said, I support selfish dickheads getting abortion, it’s the best form of birth control there is. You’re probably a tranny anyway.
Anonymous 162668
>>162665Well clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about because disabilities are a huge spectrum. Some need little to no extra care, some require extreme extra care. Your precedent is that you want to stop your child from suffering and improve their quality of life because it might come out a downie or whatever, even though downies are relatively low maintenance and a physically healthy child is just as capable of developing severe depression, a personality disorder, or any other kind of mental illness, having an accident, getting cancer or meningitis or any other kind of illness; birth complications, will be ugly etc. All of which are extremely detrimental to quality of life.
The people on here are certainly not very good examples of good looking well adjusted neurotypical people and half seem to be trannies, so the eugenics argument coming from these people is very amusing indeed. Just like /pol/ it seems to be a strong theme. I wonder if it’s simply an externalized form of self loathing.

Anonymous 162693
>>162683Genetics doesn’t work like that. You can’t predict whether a child is going to be good looking or not. Some of the ugliest peoples produce model tier kids and some of the most good looking produce incel tier kids. Good looks is literally just a random chance thing based on winning a hypothetical genetic lottery, you can’t programme for it like the Nazis tried and failed to do with Lebensborn, until you start using things like advanced gene editing and crispr it’s literally impossible.
Anyway, eugenics is a moid field created by psychopathic moids to justify genocide. If you’re an unironic eugenicist then you’re definitely a moid and you should probably just kys because your utopian ideal of humanity will never come true. All utopian eugenicists like Hitler, Mao and Stalin were just evil moids.
Anonymous 162702
>>162693Yes? You're not making me learn anything; i know it's impossible today, but that's not the point. People's interest in eugenism is very often determined by the experience of the unfair randomness of genetics distribution, that's what i said. A thing being materially impossible doesn't make people stop thinking about that very thing. Just like we're able to wonder about vast science fiction themes while many of them are impossible by today's standards. I mean, it's the mankind's history to think about impossible things to achieve.

Beats me.
Often it's the case of an adult disabled person – let's call her Linda – seeing this rhetoric and interpreting it as meaning Linda deserves to die. Linda doesn't deserve to live. Sis, I'm happy you're alive and hope you continue to enjoy your life. Adult disabled people existing and being loved and respected has nothing to do with a choice a mother makes during her pregnancy. Your mother made a choice. Others may make different choices.
Personally, I can see why someone would terminate a pregnancy where the baby is severely disabled – e.g. they will live their lives in a vegetative state that requires constant medical surveillance. Especially if they live in the U.S., where this will plunge the family into millions of dollars of medical debt.

>>162557I'd agree but this is operating under the assumption that most modern mental illness is genetic, when its mainly environmental. Sure there are genetic components to it but the major reason its gotten sky high in the last 40 years or so, especially the last 20 years, isn't dysgenia, its increased too quick for that. Its because of environmental components, its a problem with society.
Diseases with a sure biological component like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia should be eradicated, but personality disorders, depression, anxiety, most cases of these really aren't a genetic defect, but they're results of their environments.
Honestly, incase of genetic defects causing these euthanasia should just be legal. People should have the right to end their own life anyways, but if people are provided medical assistance for a painless death then so many suicidal people would just kill themselves because now they don't have an excuse not to. Then their shitty genes would be removed from the gene pool, and its not like we really have a decent idea of the genes behind these disorders, its really unknown as of now.

>>163357She didn't say that you retard. Of course they matter but the reason disabled babies are aborted isn't because they're ugly its because they're fucking stupid and burdens on everyone they interact with.
When a mom carrying a down baby aborts their kid she doesn't think "his ugly mongoloid face will get me stared at in public", she thinks "my whole life will be dedicated to wiping this kids drool off of his chin, until I hit the grave I will be raisimg a massive toddler, I cant do that".
Its not like people are really capable of determining the looks of of their baby in utero to begin with. Ultrasound images are so fuzzy and babies all kinda look the same until theyre like 1 year, and even then their looks change drastically. A cute baby can be ugly as sin later on.

I'm pro choice, and I would prefer that the mom just abort the fetus before it's a person instead of make them miserable, but their attitude makes me wary of what kind of caretaker they are… One thing to consider is how they would treat their kid or adult if they suddenly became disabled later on in life. That to me is a bigger issue than aborting a fetus who hasn't become a person yet. Like, if their attitude and thoughts about disabled people sucks, then they shouldn't have something dependant on them…
