you can say whatever you want about liking or disliking it but that is the literal definition of eugenics 🧌

Letter of the law sure but not the spirit, unless you think someone suffering from a condition should be considered a desirable or neutral trait

Its exactly what #4 says. People throw around the word as if im saying we should make it illegal for people to reproduce because of their genetic condition which is not the point I am making

I just think if you and your partner are physically incapable of walking or moving your arms because it could hospitalize you and you decide to have a kid you will 100% pass it onto its just selfish

but making it illegal or not illegal is not in the definition of eugenics either, i just don’t understand why u would be offended that people use that word

Anonymous twirling_tornado 3w

Im not offended nor am I saying thats the definition. With posts like this in the past, people USED that word as an insult or to make people out to be horrible for having thoughts that align with it

But also that word has a bad past as well so its not a word that would be good to use

Anonymous OP 3w

well yes, but the reason that word has a bad past is because this line of thinking of “some genes are inferior to others” has led to terrible things happening in history. that is why some are incredibly cautious about the slippery slope of eugenics and understandably so

Op is saying they AREN’T saying they’re in support of those terrible things in history people would like to accuse them of for making this post. Saying intentionally having a kid who will have a horrible quality of life is bad is NOT them saying people should be forcibly sterilized or not allowed to reproduce etc.

It’s also like. Shitty to tell someone that they don’t have the right to be having kids. As someone who’s been told it. Does not feel fucking excellent.

It definitely is. I see the post more as a general thought but not something that should ever be targeted at an individual, especially not like that. Whether you have kids is YOUR choice and your right not anyone else’s!
