I think severely disabled children should be euthanised

  • Kindness can be rare, and patience is even rarer these days. I feel like those who are blessed with good patience would be wasting it if they didn’t try to help those who have been dealt such a difficult hand in life.

    Adopting a child with a lifelong disability is absolutely written in my fate. It’s disappointing so many people are so ill equipped with empathy and the ability to nurture others.

    The modern idea of “Intelligence” is far fucking overvalued. There’s so much beauty to life and the fact some of you want to sit around in your dark rooms with a stack of cash and a chip on your shoulder is embarrassing.

    Take care of your elders, your sick, and your young, or get eaten by wolves.

    • Intelligence is definitely not overvalued, intelligent people are the ones that develop technology and build amazing architecture that allows our society to function.

      Even as recently as the 20th century, natural selection was left to run its course and the weak/disabled were removed from the gene pool.

      Why try to prevent something completely natural and useful that has helped our species survive for thousands of years by keeping a disabled child as a pet just to make you feel better about yourself?

      • Natural selection also picked off the socially awkward, the introverted, and the scrawny men. So Mr Apple and Mr Microsoft would get their wives taken by big dumb ape man who knew how to throw a harder punch.

        Intelligent people get to be coddled by the ones who do the heavy lifting while they sit back and try to find out better ways to do things. The brutes and the brains definitely need each other.

        If you want to go back to the Stone Age you can drop your women off at my cave by 3, if you’d like to live in modern society, understand that we are privileged enough now to be able to help our weaker brothers and sisters enjoy life to the fullest.

        Being able to help the less fortunate live and enjoy life is an accomplishment in human history, not a weakness.
