Unfortunate I know but how would you support all those with Down's Syndrome if they survived?

Now what would those nice Swedes have done?
Sweden pays for grim past | World news | The Guardian
Originally posted by GrauniadTeenagers as young as 15 were sterilised, some without their parents' consent, for inadequacies as trivial as shortsightedness or because they allegedly lacked judgment or had "no obvious concept of ethics".
Pressure was put on orphans and children in special schools and reformatories to have the operation as a condition of release.
Pregnant women seeking abortions because their foetus was damaged were told they also had to consent to sterilisation.
People could even apply to have problem neighbourhood families sterilised.
Maija Runcis, who studied several thousand sterilisation cases as part of a doctoral thesis, said: "Nowadays people are appalled, but then nobody cared about these people. This was a backyard to the nice little Swedish home.
Everyone always talked about the Swedish model, how nice it is here. But no one talked about things like this."
Feck me, if you could be sterilized for myopia the assembled congregation would really be in trouble.

The thread title says "Would eugenics have been a good idea?" past tense and suggesting that it would have been beneficial to being adopted
I merely pointed out that this is effectively happening already with the amniocenteses test
More so with IVF - although that is negating a huge part of the reproduction swimming tadpole, survival of the fittest scenario causing birth issues by forcing a tadpole direct into the egg
No issue at all with pills & condoms & no idea why you would assume thatComment

Originally posted by Benny View PostNaturally there would be upfront costs to be bourne in such an undertaking but in principle this would be agreeable, to cover those costs could you advance a nominal sum of £3000 to my bank account to show good faith

If you put peas in there, you're not going to get as many pills in.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
