Yeah... it's a pretty messed up thing to say, and I definitely realize it, but I do actually support sterilizing people that have a high chance of passing on certain genetic diseases, at least
until we can gene-engineer them away. Frankly, there's some shit that if you're willing to risk passing it on to your kid, you need parenting privilege revoked, flat out. I'm not quite sure if it's something I'd criminalize (breeding when you've got over X percent -- 15, 20? Odds need to be a
damn sight lower than one in ten or one in five before it's an acceptable risk), but I'd be pretty close to accepting that, too. There are levels of risk to reproduction that, if a person is willing to give it a go anyway, immoral is the kindest of words of them. And not knowing the risk beforehand...? In some ways, that's even worse.
It'd not something I'd have on the "the list", so to speak, but on a personal level one of the major reasons I'm not going to have children is because my family has a
very strong history of depression and related mental illness. I'd consider myself a monster if I risked inflicting that on another human being
Now, adoption? That's a possibility, but I'm getting m'self physically sterilized as soon as I have the income to afford the operation.
It would be nice if we had an easier and more reliable on/off switch for that, though, for both genders. We're probably working on it, somewhere or another.
Helluva' derail, though.
