When you decide who should live or die based on this, that’s called something that should have been wiped out in the forties. And seriously? Anything (emphasis on thing) that’d threaten a vulnerable human’s right to life should be made to sit down, and shut up. That includes the human things who do so.

How would they like to do the dirty deed, exactly? A firing squad perhaps? No, the target is too small, you might miss. Maybe just put the unfortunate babies into a sack with some rocks and throw them into the nearest, fast flowing river?

Do you have children? If so, do they know they are not more valuable than a pig or cow? Your thinking is definitely not more logical than a farm animal. Your life still has an inherent dignity that true justice demands protection from murderers.

They are playing God.I worked for years in Special Education. From toddlers to elementary. They are the most loving , giving and non- judgemental population you can ever know. They don’t have a disease. They learn maybe at a different pace but nevertheless they do. And a big majority function very well in the community. It takes very special people to be given the gift of a Downs child.

Ability is not a measure of personhood, humanity, or worth. Pigs and cows have nothing to do with this blog. Normal is a setting for washing machines.

Most people don’t consider killing cows or pigs for food to be immoral. A human infant does not have a greater right to life than individuals of these other species. A person is not just a human but an individual of any species that is self-aware and can communicate using language. Parents should have the legal right to kill their offspring before they can communicate.

A number of developmental defects are not detected before birth, such as autism, and this would allow parents to try again for a normal child.

And since persons with little use should be eradicated, how about the elderly? Lets start with this guy’s poor old grandma. She’s just a mouth to feed right?
