Post by: xnikki118x on November 15, 2007, 03:58:04 AM: I think euthanization is overkill, but maybe sterilization would be better. I don't know.

It's a tough call, because while we know so much about the human genome, there's still so much left to learn.

Do you know that Africans who are carriers of the gene that causes sickle-cell anemia are immune to malaria? That's why it kept on and keeps on getting passed down. The people who have both copies of the sickle-cell gene die from complications of the disease. The people without any copies of the gene die from malaria. The people with only one copy, who carry the disease but don't show symptoms, are the ones left to survive and reproduce.

They just found something similar with the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis, if I remember correctly. That explains why it's still being passed down.

So yeah, it's a really tough call.

I don't have any disabilities. I am ubermensch in just about every regard. Make way for homo superior.

I just got my two front teeth replaced yesterday. Made of porcelain, they are. Cost me like 950 bucks a pop. My teeth are worth more than your entire body.

What drugs did she use exactly to broke your hands while you were still in the womb?

I only vomit frequently because my soul desires to escape its cage. The things I've forced that ghost to do, demi, the things.

Hey, Synbios dragged ME into this one. If he didn't want brutality, he wouldn't have called my name.

No, because it's not genetic. If your handicap was hereditary it wouldn't have mattered that your mom used drugs or not.

Onto the topic, with future technology we should be able to pre-screen for many of these conditions and abort the fetus before it comes to life (or at least the definition of what life is).

Oh, definitely stumps. At least some depraved Laosian whore can take a pair of stumps in either of her money making orifices while being filmed for my amusement- what the fuck good are flippers in that situation?

Eugenics is bad news.

Negative eugenics (e.g., forced sterilization, forced abortions, genocide) is bad. Positive eugenics (unless it includes forcing people to reproduce) is good.

Also, killing flipper people; good.
