Does Reproductive Technology Concern You?

Daniel

Is anyone else concerned scientists are going to continue eugenics to more than babies who will be born with Down syndrome?

Bioethicists are debating whether any disabled person has the right to be born. Personally, I find it insulting scientists think disabled people's rights are something to argue about. It should be immediately "No" to the claim disabled people are not entitled to equal rights. Some of them are even saying our lives have no worth that we shouldn't be allowed to be in this world.

I've seen clinical websites saying reproductive technology is a "Great Hope" for preventing autistic people and people diagnosed ADHD coming into the world. There's already significant evidence medical science has become a field of discrimination and hatred and is no longer about health or healing. So many medical scientists have already become neo-*** designing genocide programmes against disabled people. 

These bioethicists and medical "professionals" claiming we have no place in this world, and that we do not deserve to be protected from discrimination has made me write a book to prove we are not the problem, but their attitude towards us and the economy is the problem.

Does anyone know how I can publicly debate the eugenicists? Genome reading, giving everyone a 'Genetic Identity' opens a whole new realm of cultural prejudice and discrimination.

  • I have no idea how you would debate eugenicists, to be honest I don't even know who they are.

    I cannot debate this as I do not have the scientific or medical knowledge and do not feel it is my place. The only thing I will say is in relation to autism, that I believe it is needed - neurodiversity is required for our society to flourish, in the same way that biodiversity is required for all species to flourish. Science should not be looking for a way to eliminate autism, it should be looking for ways to modify society to make use of the gifts autistic people can bring.

    I can debate them with their own evidence that messing up the gene pool can lead to premature extinction of humanity. 

    The extremes are seen as disorders. Imagine a continuum 1-10. They'll first purge 1 and 10, making 2 and 9 the new disorders. They will then purge 2 and 9 making 3 and 8 the new disorders to be purged. I assume you see the pattern, what's genetically acceptable will get more and more narrow and eventually they'll not be enough genetic diversity to adapt to environmental changes then humanity is extinct. 

    Then there's numerous others, mutations drive evolution, termination all the mutations from the pool makes humans unable to adapt to the environmental changes. 

    Conditional acceptance, no autonomy.

    The eugenics in this context is:

    if there was a test for autism genes that they could do in pregnancy and parents would be told in case they wanted to abort should they be told?

    A eugenasist would say yes. Fewer autism genes in the gene pool is better ... is what the typical eugenasist would say.
