According to Ancestry a relative was only 7 during pregnancy. I would not consider that a young woman.

Iām certainly biased, but I concur. Eugenics is such a complex issue.

Maybe it was having hyperlexia or just being interested in just about anything, but I came home to find my books and music had been raided. I was extremely sheltered. Even if I questioned the Bible too much, I would be given a censored version.

When I told my mom I believe her father had autism, she said that was mean. I replied itās only mean if I wanted to cure him when he was alive even though he was very happy. Eventually parents will try to make designer babies, but weāre still rather far from that future.

My sibling has T21 and my kid has a microgain on the end of chromosome 17. If my child could have gene editing to minimize seizures, I would choose that option. If my mom was forced to make that decision for my brother or risk losing parental rights, her and I would be knocking down every door.

Gene editing isnāt eugenics, but that doesnāt mean we donāt need to worry about eugenics, especially in the states. Americans likely will not use Cas9 anytime soon, even if T21 is only editing Nondisjunction to levels seen in translocations & mosaicism. And weāll always have ASD. š

Wish I could say this was a social experiment or give some other lame excuse for attacking a type of person who shouldnāt exist anymore. I was reading John Langdon Down who was a phrenologist and shouldnāt be remembered as a pioneer after torturing his patients. Thank you for the astute observation.

Phrenologists back in the day looked just as sad and pathetic as the ones today. Itās almost like theyāre descendants of the same asshats.

BRAT diet is probably perfect after eating dishes sitting in the danger zone

My relative who loves RFK jr believes that smoking cigarettes will ward off COVID. Theyāre all bonkers.

I had a website like that and it was so perfect. Even the php mailer never got any spam. Those were the best of times.

Havenāt coded in years, but I concur with your assessment. Good luck with your shop.

I do wonder if he ever considered getting botox for the spasmodic dysphonia. Sometimes toxins can do wonders. He would still sound like a complete pos, but we could better understand his absurdity.

Someone else mentioned how intelligence is ableist. I agree ableism is total bullshit. Eugenics can be a lot of different tactics, but I donāt think thatās what Idiocracy intended. Iām not saying youāre wrong. Nor do I believe Iām right.

Okay, I completely agree with this sentiment. š

My brother has trisomy 21. Personally I didnāt have any prenatal testing, but if someone does thatās still not eugenics. And ableism is another concept altogether; donāt remember any ableist tropes in idiocracy. Thank you for replying. You seem very kind.

The next four years are going to be long enough without having this conversation again. Maybe I am biased since I like the movie, but I never got the eugenics argument. They didnāt force anyone to have unnecessary sterilization or to breed a cheap labor force.

Iām trying to understand this point of view. The beginning purposefully doesnāt take anyoneās ability to procreate. How is that eugenics? š¤·š»āāļø
