The Eugenic Annihilation of Children with Down's Syndrome

[Ronin]

Genocide is just a loaded term...

Downs syndrome is not as disabling as people are making it seem. I really want to hear what you would say if people aborted their children who they believed would be gay. It's their choice?

yes it´s their choice, and btw if a gay gene were to be found it would mean that being gay would officially be recognized as a genetic defect right?....at least I think it should be under those circumstances.

What about sex selected abortions in other countries? Is that their choice as well? Nobody has answered those distinct questions, unless they wanted their generically callous response to be the standard.

It it´s the mother's choice...it´s her choice....if you mean state mandated sex selection like the Chinese case I don´t think that´s right for the simple reason that the state is infringing on the rights of the individual.

Some say that their may be a God gene. Should parents select out those who have it? Those who do not? The question can apply to everything.

never heard about this? what is this? a made-up gene?

In fact, why are their limits on abortion at all? Why can't we just do it until the day the child is born? Why not after? Humans used to leave babies to die on mountain tops - bash their heads against trees. Maybe personhood isn't even important to consider in the act of killing another.

I take the consideration that from the point where the fetus can survive on the outside world without being biologically connected to the mother it has personal rights.....
before that it only exists because the mother is sustaining it so she has the right to terminate that life....no matter if we find that choice agreeable or not...it´s no business of ours anyway.
