@nattiegoogie@mstdn.io eugenics sounds like a terrible idea even before you write it down. I think there is something besides trying to "perfect" humanity (which, what the frak does that even mean?). If we can reliably tell that a person is going to have schizophrenia, is that something we should just let ride? People with a whole host of conditions have provided inspiration or inspired compassion among millions -- is there utility in that? Is it worth the suffering for those with those conditions? Is that suffering fait accompli or further conditioned on parental and societal reaction to it?

My current position is that although there are good and worthy people with specific diseases (by which I mean, let's not lump them all together), we probably should prevent some of them if we can. We should also provide support for people with incurable diseases so they can live full lives.
