If you spend your entire life in pain because of a genetic disorder and decide to bring another person into this world KNOWING they are going to experience the SAME pain as you, I personally feel you’re being very cruel to your child. I’m not saying we need to make it illegal or anything, but I am going to judge you for being that fucking selfish. There are plenty of kids already suffering, who would love to be adopted. Like come on
Also directly from OP: “guys I am not saying it should be illegal, that obviously opens up some MASSIVE problems. but if you choose to have kids knowing you'll pass down a disease that will ruin their quality of life, I'm judging the hell out of you sorry.” That last sentence is most certainly shaming and condemning
So am I not allowed to have an opinion now? This might be crazy for you to understand, but people can judge others without wanting to control their lives. I’m sure you judge people all the time too — you’re judging me right now lol. I’m allowed to have an opinion and so are you, the major difference is that I recognize everyone has a right to choose to do or not to do something. Me silently judging someone has zero impact on them
I would argue that you are allowed to say that potentially causing your future child harm and discomfort is a bad thing to do. You are allowed to tell someone they shouldn’t do something when they could potentially do harm. Of course you are still definitely not allowed to infringe upon someone’s reproductive rights, but telling someone that something is a bad idea because it might cause harm does not infringe upon their rights
You are being blinded by fear of eugenics as a force against human rights. This is definitely a real problem that exists. However nobody has said anything that actually infringes upon someone’s right to choose. Nobody is calling for legislation that forces disabled people to not reproduce.
