I have no problems with this.

Harsh, but i somewhat agree

 

[NoChillJones]

As long as no one is required to abort a child then it seems fair........even if it is a potential burden, its the parents decision if they want to take on that burden or not.........

My little brother has downs and he's brilliant. He definitely deserves a life. FOH

They do the testing here while the baby is in the womb but the risk of testing is the baby could die.

Honestly I'd rather not have a child than to bring one into this world knowing he or she will have Down syndrome

Didn't say he doesn't but not everyone is equipped to raise these kids. Having the choice to terminate has already been available and is being used. I know people that have terminated based on this testing.

Until negrodom becomes a syndrome

so you think you gonna have black parents terminating kids because they might come out black?



what are you even tryna say?

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Absolutely disgusting and abhorrent. If you support this you don't understand eugenics and or do and are completely ammoral.

He's saying "neg me"

 

[Rell Lauren]

Where does it end for those of you who support this? What conditions are fair game? Who else that doesn't contribute to society should be removed?

Yeah I just listened to a podcast about eugenics scary stuff
I recognize why someone wouldn't "want " to have a kid with downs but really there are a lot worse things out there
This sets a scary precedent though

where I grew up a lot of kids with "problems" were abandoned. Pretty common in the developing world especially back then. Parents couldn't cope with offspring that couldn't fend for themselves and society was not receptive to caring or making room for them.

My nephew currently has some developmental issues and his pops just fell off the face of the earth. This is how people move in some places...
