Involuntary sterilization of the disabled and those with defective genes

[Mike_Yates]

Do you believe that we should pass laws mandating that all disabled people and those with faulty genetics be sterilized against their will?

We could dramatically reduce the number of people born with disabilities and other undesired traits.

What say you?

 

[BotanyBoy]

I say we just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem sort itself out.

Let's see, we'll find the Yates' family genetic charts online and hack them to show defective genes. Guess who gets snipped first?

Anyone who believes Dogshit (I mean Fox) News and rightwing bullshit is obviously mentally defective. Whip out the scalpels.

Most NFL and NBA players are mutant genetic outliers. Normal humans are not built like that. Where are my scissors?

Many ingested substances, including coffee, cause chromosome breakage and thus genetic damage. Convert every Starbucks to a sterilization clinic.

Humanity started black. Non-black races are the result of mutant and defective genes. The sterilization surgeons will stay busy processing everyone else.

Et fucking cetera.

First, that's not how genetics works

Secondly, you are aware that you exhibit clear signs of severe mental illness in almost every post, right? You'd be near the top of the list in your area.

Why stop there? Have everyone's DNA tested and only those selected can breed with only selected partners. Of course there will probably me more than one choice at least. We could improve the human species not just maintain status quo.

What is a defective gene? Male colour blindness, poor eye sight, how about left-handedness, red hair?

No more gingers! Hey wait, you want to get rid of redheads! Booooooo!

Unless your ancestor die of very old age with doctoral tickets and Olympic medals forget about having kids.

Singapore offers a 2000$ bonus to any woman with a university education who has a child. An example of a eugenics program.

Nah, not a great idea. Who gets to decide who has "faulty genetics"?

Mike, you should simply volunteer for sterilization.



Don't force us to do it...

No they did not. The people with the 'oldest' and most diverse genes on the planet are the bushmen (San) of the Kalahari and its fringe areas of SW Africa.

Those people are small slightly built and a light yellowish brown - not black. Their men have permanently slightly-erect penis's and the women have very pronounced steapopygia when well fed. They were formerly the dominant group across southern africa until negro peoples migrated south and drove them into marginal areas.

Some geneticsts opine that either the concentration of melanin to produce blackness or its reduction to produce whiteness in different environments can take as little as 10,000 years.

Nice. Facts. Science. Hypoxia will go apoplectic in outraged indignation...



Thank you for the former, but even more for the latter.

Anyone seen Gattaca lately? I mean, it worked out so well for them, such a perfectly healthy and including society...

I have.

One could of course make the case that we have 'cheated' evolution by overriding natural selection. I mean, individuals with chromosomal abnormalities/immune disorders/hereditary diseases and so on would naturally be less prevalent as the carriers were less prone to procreate. However, I think this is what makes the human race better than animals, where natural selection is the driving force of survival, both individually and as a species. If we were to implement that kind of genetical segregation we would miss out on so many diseased, but brilliant, people and their contributions to mankind.

There are probably many, many more names to the list of people with genetic disorders who contributed in a significant way, but names like Hawking, Chopin, Einstein and Edison are examples of people who all have/had (or at least were strongly suspected to have) genetic disorders of varying severity...

I would rather judge people by their actions/words than their genetic predisposition for some trait or another, plus who would decide where to draw the line? What critical parameter would make a certain trait/illness too severe or not?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Evolution has been cheated by each and every species with a bigger brain...

 

[Mike_Yates]

Being placed in special education for having a clinically documented mental deficiency (i.e. failing an IQ test) should be a one-way ticket to the sterilization clinic.

Just think of how many less Forrest Gumps that would mean.

 

[magicalmoments]

Well... that plan worked out well for Hitler. I guess it could work in the USA seeing they're going the same way Germany did in the early 1930's.

 

[DooleyDarter]

I am all for it as long as it includes all registered and unregistered democrats. they should not reproduce under any circumstances.

A World Free of Gingers!

The OP wants to get rid of redheads!

What were we talking about? Oh yeah, ridding the world of redheads.

This has to be the most disgusting idea I have seen yet posted to this site! Get rid of redheads! The stupidest post too!

How appropriate that lit's situational "not republican" libertarians are all for forced sterilization.

I can't say that I'm too surprised, there's not a lot of consistency in those folks.


Anyhow, anyone that is for forced sterilization is basically in favor of eugenics, which is a brand of fascism. The right shows their true colors, once again.

Sterilize everyone at age 20. That way only the young and healthy will breed, and they won't have very long to be productive. Mea culpa: I was sterilized at 19. One was enough.
