How about the guardians who have the legal right to make decisions for someone unintelligent enough to make their own decisions?
Which also happens to be the state, in many cases
Will they? How many?
It still depends on the free will of the guardian...
Personally I think it's preferable to take the decision before the birth, and we have the means to know before the birth, what it's going to be. Nazis didn't have this option
Now let's say for the sake of the argument that your wife has a kid with you, and it turns out to be a retard, and he's born, and nobody saw it coming, echography failed for some reason
It's been 9 months of hope... And we're talking about killing your wife's newborn now... It's tough shit, tough enough to go batshit insane... Especially when it comes to your wife
Would that be acceptable to see a nazi not asking you anything, taking her newborn son, and that's it, fuck off?
I don't think so
If my wife and I could not afford to support a retarded child without the assistance of taxpayer money, then no, I don’t think we should be allowed to have one any more than I think someone who can’t afford a car should have one at the expense of the rest of society.
And that’s completely separate from the fact that I, personally, do not want to be caring for a retarded adult while I’m in my 70s
She loved him for 9 months already, it's going to fucking hurt, big time
...
Does society even care about your suffering, her suffering? What society? The everyday morons around us?
Why should you care about that society? Do you? Really?
