Better the organ saved the life of a non-moron.
True dat.
Language will evolve naturally over time. But to claim that hoping your children are intelligent/physically healthy is a form of eugenics is absurd. If QAnon was left-leaning, this is the kind of shit they would say.
So you're openly saying you think disabled people are inferior, got it.
What I said and what you said are not the same thing.
However, you win the gold medal for mental gymnastics.
I believe that that man was made of straw.
It's funny when the trolls come out to play and no one picks up what they're putting down.
I could definitely see this person being a troll. What’s wild though is that it seems the linked article was written in earnest.
I think it's really funny that no one is taking the bait. All of the responses have been simple, on point, and non-engaging. That's how you deal with a troll.
Disability studies, disability justice, disability theory, crip theory… lots of keywords for you to start googling. The other poster isn’t wrong: prioritizing intelligence and health in a child is the theory behind the practice of eugenics. Yes, these are strong words… but they’re not wrong.
Are you still here flogging this outrage porn? No one is interested.
I wonder if you’d be able to take a step backward and consider that the linked article was written in earnest because it reflects a valid way of looking at the world that you may never have considered before. People disagreeing with you may not actually be trolling, but presenting their own valid beliefs. Look up disability studies, disability justice, and/or crip theory.
I'm openly saying you're inferior.
Congratulation - you've let the world know you're a piece of shit bigot!
Funny you making that statement and not realizing how it applies to yourself. Talk about a self-own lol.
I agree that hoping for an intelligent and physically healthy child definitely reflects an ableist worldview. This is basic disability/crip theory.
For those who are going to argue: wanting an intelligent child is ableist because it implies that people who are intelligent have more worth than people who are not. It’s assigning the value of a person based on a pretty narrow and Western conceptualization of how people think. A person is valuable not because of their intelligence, but because of their existence — all are equally valuable because they’re people, and everyone is equal. The same goes, believe it or not, for physical disabilities, including health. If you disagree, then you think that not all people are equal, which is problematic, as problematic as hoping that your child is straight, or male, or has blonde hair and blue eyes.
That's retarded. People can want what they want. The implications and conclusion you jump to sre you-problems, not reflective of society.
Oh shut up already.
no, you.
no u
