Oh don't go acting like eugenics was all bad.
According to several studies, people with Down’s syndrome are happy and lives a fulfilling life. The same with their families!
So I’m not onboard with the eugenics train.
Over population in the West is not a problem but rather in Asia and Africa.That might be because the people who raise the Down's children, actually wanted them. But what would happen it the parents did not want them?
My grandfathers and grandmothers still lived in an age where raising a handicapped child was a tremendous burden, with little to no assistance from the society. They still raised one of my uncles, who was physically handicapped. He has lived a decent life.
However, even with having had a personal relationship with people who suffer from disabilities, I cannot say that the world would be worse off, if there were less people with disabilities. Unlike Hitler may have imagined, the lack of them won't really fix any of the problems either, as physically healthy and capable individuals are bound to possibly cost even more resources, especially if they are raised badly.
There is no way to control "over-population" in a way that won't step into amoral and potentially immoral territory. If anybody actually pretends to "care" about over-population, as many people seem to, then issues such as disabled people's right to be born to unwilling parents, are not necessarily at the fore-front of their priorities. Humanism is a great thing but it may not be the leading ideology of the future, if its advocates don't really come up with any potent solutions to future problems.
That was notOn this site, it's hard to know if this is serious or not.

I’m glad that your uncle lived a decent life and it is telling of your family’s dedication and care.
No unwanted child, healthy or not will live a decent life if its parents don’t want it.
I just wish that people used protection instead of doing away with unwanted children.

If that is the case, I have a bold solution. Close the borders to immigrants because the population in America would decline otherwise, the same with most of Europe.Over population in the west seems to have the potential to be a bigger issue, for the whole world, as we use up resources and expand.
Your avatar is triggering me with its subtle racism.
i think he worded it wrong but english not his first language neither is mine. But i think he is getting at is progressive countries today like Iceland can clearly see the benefit in helping people and preventing people from living in horrible conditions or have bad lives.
How many people have been killed by people with Down Syndrome?You don't know shit about the Nazis, outside of what you've read on U.S. propaganda.
Now go read how much of your good ol' American science was founded on ground-work laid out by the Nazis. Do you know why all those scientists who did the Nazi human experimentations, all that grisly shit you've heard about in your little Hollywood depictions, never got convicted of any crimes? Because your boys in the CIA and the government protected them, in order to benefit from their work. Seized them as U.S. assets and put them to work, the same kind of work they always did.
That's the reality.
Where you live, or where the Pope lives, is not reality. It's some fantasy utopia where everybody gets to have a feel-good ending. Hate to break it to you, but they don't.
Today, at the very least, we possess the capacity to make it more certain that a person can lead somewhat of a decent life.
I don't really see the problem?
Any real honest, loving parent would tell you that if they had any say in the matter, they would prefer to give birth to a healthy baby over a retarded one. Why wouldn't you want your child to be born with the best mental facilities as possible? I know it may sound callous at first but it's not, and if science has a way to make it possible, then why not support it?
Only sensible way you could be against it IMO is if you're completely against abortion outright. This is one of the best reasons one could possibly want an abortion.

Go on, keep touting the Nazis. I love watching assholes like you self destruct.
let parents make that decision.
