I love how you jumped straight from "people weirdly into eugenics should be disavowed" to "dysgenics is desirable". That is the epitome of black-and-white think

- LawTalkingGuy 3y agoThe lines are being drawn such that counseling to abort fetuses with Down syndrome is called eugenics, rhetorically equal to Nazi racial purges. "In a 1985 book titled Should the Baby Live?, Singer and his coauthor warn their audience that “this book contains conclusions which some readers will find disturbing. We think that some infants with severe disabilities should be killed.” Why? In part because of the burden they’d place on society. This is eugenics of the darkest sort"* -- https://www.truthdig.com/articles/nick-bostrom-longtermism-and-the-eternal-return-of-eugenics-2/ https://www.truthdig.com/articles/nick-bostrom-longtermism-a... The funny thing is that these people are pro abortion. They fully support your right to abort a baby for any reason, even if you just want to go drinking, unless you're doing it because the baby is actually unhealthy. And then, oh no, you have to keep it.
