I don't think the average reader has a problem comprehending what you wrote, they just don't define better the way that you do (ie they don't include unborn babies lives as equally valuable until a certain age in the womb). Your core point that given any set of facts you can define a value system such that it's improving is true, but that's not how most people define their value system.
- rwcarlsen 8y agoI think maybe OP was just trying to say that the means matter - not just the end. End state of no more down syndrome humans is good, but maybe just aborting them all before they are born isn't good - depending on your beliefs/values. I think it is a valid point to consider even if their tone wasn't very constructive.
