@AsosSilver@bbswurld Some of them would be. According to themselves too. Or some don't want to die, but they would have chosen abortion if they could have. Is life worth living if there's no quality of life and you don't want to be here? I guess that's up to each individual, but I think it isn't.
@AsosSilver@bbswurld And you can't read. NOT what I said. We should take care of those who are already here but spare people suffering and a life dependent on others if we can. DS comes with heart defects, vision and hearing loss, thyroid problems, high likelihood of Alzheimers. Sound like fun?
@AsosSilver@bbswurld I have worked in a group home for disabled people. I have cared for people who are in pain and can't take care of themselves. Whose families visit MAYBE once a week. It breaks your heart.
So please, visit that place for a day and let's talk.
@AsosSilver@bbswurld Yeah, sure. Please, spend a week, even a day in a group home and get back to me with your findings. It's so easy to be sanctimonious on Twitter yet the reality is a bit different.
@AsosSilver@bbswurld It's not "might suffer" it's "most likely will suffer". Heart defects, vision and hearing loss, thyroid problems, high likelihood for early onset Alzheimer's, higher likelihood for leukemia... What a life!
@lunyracent@chozero616 Anyone would choose to have a healthy child if they could. They would choose that their child doesn't become disabled later.
In this case they were able to choose this. It's not the same as the child becoming disabled later or being born with a disability they can't screen for
@ms_queen_doggo@ASFleischman So your previous response was pointless, got it.
Abortion isn't murder; it's a fetus, not a person. They don't feel pain or hold memories, unlike a disabled child. My view is that people with DS face so many health concerns that abortion is kinder. I won't budge on that.
@ms_queen_doggo@ASFleischman Source? That would mean there are no disabled kids in foster care, right? Yet this says otherwise. https://t.co/Rbon026iNu
@ms_queen_doggo@ASFleischman Adoption is always thrown around as the ultimate answer. Yet not all kids get adopted, especially not ones with a disability
