Pretty good argument.
I believe that modern medicine creates situations for people that they otherwise wouldn’t be in had nature been allowed to take its course.
I don’t mean this in strictly relating to DS, but there are babies born all over the country that will love the entirety of their lives in a bed/wheelchair/breathing machines. It’s pretty sad and I could see how it would be difficult for the parents.
Yeah, so murder them huh?
I DONT WANT YOU TO HAVE IT TOUGH SO IM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!
Takes a loon to downvote that. Jeez.

Because we don’t want to have any “burdens” in our fairy tales.

Eugenics. No other way to frame it.
You ever seen tall blond haired blue eyed high IQ Icelanders? They’re the master race compared to us…

It isn’t just abortion, it’s people involved in accidents, disease/illnesses later on as well.
Do you realize those are two different things?

Don't be so quick to judge them. In America women have abortions so they can drive a nicer car.

So long as she’s unburdened and has an easy life, that’s all that matters.

As you said, it is eugenics by its definition (that was present before Sanger, more specifically in Victorian England).
Galton in the 1860s-1880s when eugenics got its current name. We can go a lot farther back to Plato's Republic (philosophical musings) and Sparta (actual practice).

Everyone should know that murdering Down's Syndrome babies does not fit the definition of Eugenics because Down's is not a hereditary genetic condition.

Gattaca arriving as predicted.
In the coming years there will be genetic screenings as accurate predictors for all sorts of traits: IQ, height criminality, etc.
Everyone is horrified about the idea of genetically engineered kids but it seems unstoppable.
If you could check a box to ensure that your offspring was guaranteed to tall, beautiful, intelligent and healthy wouldn't you?
Between playing God with genetics and AI and stuff I believe more in the great filter theory everyday. Civilization inevitably reaches a point of advancement that it just destroys itself.

This is a crime against humanity, and I would be in favor of invading them, conquering them, and putting an end to that practice.
Kind of like forcing the Native tribes of North America and South America to give up human sacrifice several centuries ago.

Their country, their culture. They can live how they see fit.

Yeah, I agree with you. I’m not buying the “their country, their culture” thing. This makes Iceland sound like a terrible place.

In your opinion, if it’s before 18 weeks, do you believe it to be a net positive or net negative that these creatures are not shitting more of their awful selves into society?

Congratulations on having one of the most hateful comments I’ve ever read on this board.
