No but as I said it is a subconscious thinking that normal kids are better to have - Therefore normals > disabled. What I said in the beginning is simply that we can hold ideas subconsciously - You can be racist because you are irrationally afraid of blacks but still have black friends and love them to death
Quote:Selective breeding is a method to achieve the same aims as eugenics (the original method). No ones telling you it's wrong to pick and choose your mates - just mentioning that if we're looking to include things in eugenics..selective breeding goes in there too. Selective breeding -was- a component of that last infamous eugenics program, after all...eh?It usually is the main method + sometimes exterminating groups, but where does it stop honestly? Why is it that it's perfectly moral for individuals to do it but the government can't? If it's so common why not let the government choose how do you breed (and maybe a biologist, etc)? My whole point isn't to stop people from advocating the idea because most likely I would tell my girlfriend to abort if she had a disabled fetuses in her uterus (and I would feel immoral, but life is full of immorality) - It's just for people to recognize it's motivated by eugenic thoughts.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
