Killing your unborn baby is still killing. If the child can grow up, live a live, see parents, have friends and laugh, then it is unethical to abort.
Would it be ethical to knowingly give someone a 99% chance of a severe illness within a few months?
We part, we choice
Bye Felicia
how is severe downs defined? i thought it was an either/or thing. and they seem to be perfectly content with themselves?
interesting dilemma though, what is the limit between "who cares" and "this person probably suffers too much"?
one could probably think of a few shitty situations to be born in and when judging by this lens, shouldn't the person decide if they have the faculties to express it? what if they don't?
sure, even after birth
zero ethical dilemma for me
all children require constant care of you're not willing to so that with people with disabilities then you're just a eugenic
im not making a bullshit anti choice take btw
