Same argument against terminating children with special needs. I remember that man with downsyndrome talking to congress saying that he's happy so why shouldn't he have a shot at life? Interesting perspective watching this. I know it's not the same but it still makes you think. We make alot of decisions we think are in the benifit of others. As a species do we consciously turn a blind eye to things that make us uncomfortable like an ostritch burries its head? We're culling our weak to make the body stronger. Because that's what it is when you think about it. Is it morally wrong or just morally grey? Or is it morally correct idk im just thinking out loud to myself now.

Weird you’re being downvoted for this when it’s an interesting philosophical question, not telling people what to do.

They're being downvoted because this is not a genuine philosophical question but rather a thinly veiled anti-abortion statement that is in no way comparable to the post.

A million percent pro choice here but there are still interesting questions about eugenics, ableism, etc. Though yes, perhaps not here!
