I’m sorry but idgaf if you have a horrible genetic defect that is going to cause your child a life time of misery and pain why are you having it? That’s not eugenics that’s selfishness

This is a tough topic because I generally don’t care what others do with their lives, but I also have the caveat that it can only hurt themselves, not others. But this is part of the reason I won’t have kids with my partner. He has physiological issues like high cancer risk, and I have a high risk of passing on psychological issues. I can’t in good faith do that to a kid. I even remember going through a phase of blaming my parents for some medical issues.

I’m somewhat the same aslong as it harms no one else but in this case it does. I was born with health issues my parents didn’t even know I was gonna have which not there fault but living with that I think it’s absolute insanity for a parent to have a child knowing there gonna suffer because as someone who does I can’t imagine having kids and doing that to them yk?

Agreed. Wild story, so I went to the psych ward after trying to kms in ‘22. When I got out, my mom suddenly decided that was the time to tell me abt all these close relatives on my dad’s side who committed suicide or otherwise have SEVERE mental illness. All that could’ve probably been avoided had someone just told me years before it got to that point :/ I’m doing so much better now but it’s a miracle I never succeeded and got help on my own

So glad you’re doing better now!! People really should be a lot more open about health/mental health history could save people a lot of issues down the long run
