Always makes me think of those "abortion is murder" retards. "All human life is sacred, save all the babies!!!". Yeah, allow people to be born with genetic defects that make life barely worth living, in constant agony, with severe intellectual difficulties. Go back to your ----ing cult you moron with your fake ----ing cult god, that supports children being born with severe difficulties that will impede their enjoyment of life. Idiots.

The only solace is that if they're that ----ed up they likely cant pass on their suffering to future generations.

My sister is like that since she got into an accident, ---- is hard to live for her and everyone around.
Sincerely if you get into the situation where you gotta let your kid die or keep her even though she'll be handicaped, let her go.

But what if the kid is born with a disability, do we yeet the veggie of the cliff, or keep it? Or is that different?

I hate to be that guy, but it's not likely to happen. The medical industry has too much profit to make off of disabilities and diseases to let too much be cured. They'd rather let people suffer and provide costly therapies than actually do something to solve the problem.

I'd at least like to hope that'll change at some point, but government, lobbyists, etc. have a long history of stifling technological and medical advancements. I'd have to look up the particulars, but I'm fairly certain an early version of the Internet was ready to go in like the late 50's, but telecom lobbyists and the FCC hid it for decades. I'm sure so many similar things have happened in regards to medicine.

One can hope. The problem from there is whether or not they're simply replaced with a new generation that's just as bad. Money and power can corrupt a lot of people.

We could already be doing this with CRISPR technology, but people don't like the idea of "designer humans" even if it means stopping these horrible defects. I mean, if you could make a newborn grow up extremely smart and extremely fit, that's just evolution but skipping unnecessary steps. It's already happening undisclosed in China, and probably many other countries. In about 20 years, there are going to be a bunch of "prodigies" popping up, along with some insane individuals in the olympics.

People dont like it because they are ignorant of it. When you do a bit of reading on it its amazing. Its very possible to eliminate birth defects, various if not all modern diseases and possibly biological immortality. Not to mention gene splicing

For some, for others its about how things might turn out with such "designer babies". Humans are bastards, genetically superior humans might be bigger bastards especially considering what source they are derived from, the wealthy. Not a ton of people want the children of Kanye and Kim or the spawn of Soros to not only lord over them economically but genetically too, literally superior. I doubt Joe and Juan Average, middle class buttbangers from Jersey or Tom and Lisa Nobody from Nowhereston Iowa are going to be able to afford to create super babies.
Even if the tech is cheap enough to be used by everyone it might create some problems to do with choice. Think of all the arguments about corrective and elective surgeries and procedures for things like hearing, ---- skin, doofy ears, ear piercings, and FGM and magnify that by a bunch, like atleast 3 times magnification. A parent can completely choose how their offspring is, whether they are going be blond or black haired, white skinned or black or torquoise, what sort of man hammer they got swinging if they even have one even if they are supposed to, sexuality, probable talents, and whether they get wood for feet. The child becomes theirs to shape exactly how they want, every choice made by the parents is a choice the kid has to live with (assuming adult level genetic modification ain't around, hello everyone having the footlongs Jared doesn't like but is probably getting now). To have that level of control over their offspring might be utterly horrific, cutting off parts of your downstairs bits are bad enough but being able to give your kids permanent tattoos, wings, tails, and animal ----- is worse (especially for their future partners, some kid with a duck ---- definitely is going to have if rough, kid with a dog ---- will have it ruff though).
Some wonder about genetic ---------, the human genome and all that sciencey ----. Certainly fixing some wheelchair bound goblin into a walking human being would be fine but what about fixing every supposed defect? Are some of what people "fixing" going to cause problems with human genetics in the future, we become the damn dirty Ass-gard where we are abducting Martians trying to figure out how to fix our unraveling genetic code? Probably not but its certainly a concern.
And one cannot discount the religious angle. To the religious God made them how he made them for a reason, to alter that design is to go against the work of God. The very fabric of a person, the blueprint from God's own low on toner printer for a human being, a divine thing, and then some asshole in a lab coat starts ----ing with it to make -----....... EVERYWHERE!!!!! Can create fear and alienation in the long run if not outright violence, I'm betting superior jeans and a prehensile ---- ain't going to stop a 12 gauge.
Me personally I am for genetic modification but think its not something that should be jumped in blindly and certainly not something that should just be a rich person plaything only. Human kind has the possiblity to really improve ourselves, it'd be a real shame if 50 years from now its just a bunch of Paris Hilton Jr's with the gag reflex removed so much they can deep throat a dildo all the way through. Human social and economic inequality heightened by genetic inequality is a recipe for a real ----ed up future.

Its sorta what our species does. The human race is the only known species that can manipulate nature to such a degree. Should we ever make large enough advancements in genetic engineering our entire society would change as in our laws. It's inevitable that we become God's unless we destroy ourselves first.

That isn't a bad thing I think. I just think how reckless we can be is what can really bend us over and make us squeal like a pig. We do genetic engineering right we can create a true utopia akin to something like Star Trek TNG just hopefully with less man skirts and boy hungry alien pedos. We do it wrong we can wind up with a dystopia (like Star Trek Picard complete with people getting their eyes pulled out and dumbass Mass Effect/Battlestar Galactica plotlines), a species divided far more then ever before between the genetically enhanced and the "mundanes".
If we are to be Gods we need to be wise and intelligent Gods, not the more flawed greek style Gods where any holes a goal even if you are a swan. A flawed approach to genetic engineering could kill us just as easily as nukes.

They figured it was more economical to kill the disabled than help them, irony is ------'s #2 man Joseph Gobbles was born with a deformed leg and would have been euthanized had he been a child at the time of his own eugenics policies.

Am I wrong? Sorry if that's the case.
As far as I know, eugenics is a pseudo science that tries to explain that certain quality genetic quality of people can be improved by excluding iferior groups of people.
Like, exclude every black person, because black people have a genetic tendency to violence and stupidity or latino people are lazy and smell bad.
Kinda like that other belief that the shape of someones head determines what type of person they'll be and what kind of job they'll have.
If that's the case, using the picture as an example, we could say that white people need also to be excluded because they have a higher tendency of being disabled that other races.
Genetics is only to look for the best and most heatlhy mate for you offspring, diregarding race and location.
But please, correct me if I'm mistaken. Not looking to argue here lol The more I learn, the better I guess.

Eugenics is the "science" of excluding those who have unfavourable genetic traits not just racial traits.
So using Eugenics you would be able to remove genetic disabilities. That was the nature of the joke I had made, I hope that helps explain better and in a non confrontational manner.

I always wonder how conscious they are of being messed up. Like Is there a part of them that knows their mother normal and is tormented constantly but cant do anything about it? Are they blissfully unaware? I hope for their sake they dont know

Can't speak of the being trapped in you own body, but throughout my 25 years of living, one of my biggest fears is that I'm holding people back by being their disabled friend. I hate hanging out with my friends when we go in their car, cause then I feel bad for making them deal with my chair. Its a daily problem even, since I worry my wife resents me for making her help me going places.

I can't claim to know hoe you feel but hey their your friends. no one is forcing them to be. so I'm sure it doesnt bother them as much as you think. Same with your wife. My dads in a wheelchair now from a stroke and I can tell you 100 percent my mom does not resent him. I thin allot of it is in your head man

Oh it is, but it's one of those fears I always have that's recurring. I don't think about it most times, but when a existential crises hits, that's something that always brings me down.

Had a girl in my year all the way through school. It looks like she had the same disease as the girl in OP but like 10x worse. Had 2 thumbs on each hand and was just constantly drooling and screaming.
I remember in the last year of high school they put her in the drama club. They were doing some stupid modern dance thing. All the dancers were doing jumps and spins and ---- then they just had her in one corner of the stage being pushed in circles by her handler while screeching over the music and flailing her arms. That was ----ing cringe.
She'd be my age so almost 30 and that seems like such a miserable existence.

**1 used "*roll picture*"**

Really depends on how aware and sentient they actually are, imo
I knew someone who was trapped in a drooling husk of a creature but their brain worked, and worked well. I felt so bad for them and it was really hard to interact with them but I wouldn't wish an existence like that on anyone, and if being rolled around on stage in something they'd usually never be involved in made them happy then I'd love for them to be there.
If they're a vegetable inside and out, then.. why?

There was a lovely girl in my 7th grade year health class, She actually got a chance to do a presentation about her life with Cerebral Palsy. She has an incredibly severe condition, only able to move one arm, and push her head into a button on the wheel chair. It took her months to give us a small insight into her world. Despite all that, she had an amazing outlook on life, guess you have to, otherwise
