We should encourage people with rare generic deceases to use fertility treatments that filters out particularly bad genes; or adopt children instead.

My Aunt had cancer. My father high blood pressure. I think one uncle on my estranged mothers family was quite mad. Am I allowed to procreate? Who draws the line on what is an acceptable level of hereditary risk factors?

- trcollinson 8y agoI agree that the slippery slope could be a logical fallacy. It really just describes why the parent post gets scorn when he brings up his idea. Lots of people believe logical fallacies and get upset because of those fallacies. Heck, look at the current US presidential administration. By the way, there are a ton of people who actually do believe that taxes are a slippery slope to socialism! The employment one is funny. But I think there are people who believe consumerism or capitalism is a slippery slope to criminal activity like prostitution. People are so funny.
