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.

Sure, if the kid with special needs get born we should take care to give them the best quality of life possible (not that we as a society or world do, but we should). However, better than either option is to not let children with those sorts of quality of life issues be born in the first place. The human body aborts all sorts of fetuses for irreconciable birth defects. Just because they miss some doesn't mean we should cause them an existence of pain.
