UK Embryo Bill - those with disabilities not fit to live

Post Reply New Topic

While I definitely don't think we're the next step in evolution I still think a cure is way more practical then all-out weeding (being that the only practical way to make a 'cure' is enhance what's already there so that we become what we'd think of as the better half of the NT world or at least have the option of interacting that way at will - trying to dumb someone down would be completely counterproductive). Especially since autisms becoming more and more prevalent, it doesn't make more sense and it would help to keep autism genes from coagulating as badly. In fact I think learning to correct the gene pool after birth is probably the only way we'll really ever be able to take care of our inherent natural law problem that f's society up as much as it does.

Ladies and Gentlemen boys and girls step right up and view the biggest horror show the world has ever seen.
It's called eugenics and its the wave of the future. It's been around for a long time and since hitler made it infamous It's had to masquerade under various other masks and titles usually in the guise of science always promising to improvie humanity's lot by giving up the purist genetics possible at the expense of untold suffering and cruel inhumanity to man. but never fear we are all just animals after all don't you know so it is only just that the fittest survive and the weak are culled from the gene pool after all Darwin was right don't ya know and we should embrace his world view and help evolution along. now go and do us all a favor by having yoruself sterilized for the betetrment of the human race off ya go now! What?!? you don't want to do the right thing? Then we have no choice but to force you to do so we have passed laws for your own good.


This is why I oppose materialism, atheism and the abolition of religion. my beliefs aside The Human race when it sees itself as nothing more than cattle, when it is not assumed that Humans are something special and have value beyond measure and are endowed by inalienable rights form their creator, when it is assumed that it is man himself who will give and revoke rights. it is so easy to spiral into utter darkness.

History repeats itself and the only lessons learned form history is that nobody ever learns from history.

You know they begin with this.

Then they will add "possible aggressive tendency" gene to it.

Slowly fading to:

"Predisposition to #bad thing#"

And later:

"Ugly people"

Eventually:

"genes not belonging to #race#"

Finally:

"Genes that could cause rebellious, non state-obeying attitude"

Some things we were not meant to meddle in. We may think we are so smart as a species but we really have only proven one thing through out history when we try and play God we usually just do what we do best really muck things up good and proper. It might seem as though we have triumphed over Nature for a while but always the consequences are swept under the rug and ignored until finally they rear their ugly head down the road and a terrible price is paid sometimes generations later. but like I said before we never learn from history because we always assume the people of yesterday are much less developed and educated than we are so they have nothing for us to learn from. sadly there is much to learn from history and not many new ideas are truly new. but everyone wants to think they are brave new pioneers and will succeed where their forbears did not (if they even realize that the previous generations have tried the same thing and failed for the exact same reasons)

another thing that worries me is theraputic cloning. where one child is sick and other embryo is created then designed so that it has a certain blood type, and then that embryo is implanted and the child is born then the cord blood is given to the sick child in order to give it what it needs (stem cells or something).
a good idea in principle but there is a chance that the kid who was designed could end up being nothing more then a living DNA factory for the older one. as in being the one that has to donate blood for the transfusions it may need or donate a kidney or whatever for the term of the older ones sickness or life. i cannot imagine the way one would feel about being in that position. (anger, guilt, resentment, pride who knows what?)

Well, while I understand the principle. However it still boils down to eugenics. And Eugenics has implications far greater then eliminating disabilities.

Genetic screening tests for markers for certain things; having a marker doesn't mean the child will eventually have whatever the marker indicates just that the possibility is there.

good point.

autism isn't mentioned in the article at all. I doubt autism is what they have in mind when they say "genetic disabilities".
