Are you insinuating that it's inherently an act of psychological abuse to bring a child into the world, if they have some kind of inherited disability?

You might wanna refrein from making such wild claims, it makes you loose credibility

DreamWindow said:
You are correct, in that, incestual offspring have a higher chance at inheriting disabilities, which is a genuine concern, and one of the many reasons why incestual relationships are not advisable. But I'm not sure I see the comparison to how that makes it abusive, per se.

You don't see it as neglect (which is a form of abuse) to knowingly concieve a child who will have a higher chance of disabilities and an even higher chance their immune system is compromised?

I asked you a simple question. Feel free to clarify.

I would say that it is certainly still possible for parents or guardians to provide proper care and accommodations for those with disabilities. It has been done, and will be done again in the future, so it seems unreasonable to say that these people are being neglectful of these individuals, if they are well taken care of. It's more neglectful to mistreat them after they are born.

No, it is still wrong, because it perverts the family dynamic, which is the foundation of civilization. The family is supposed to be a unit that is too look out for one another. To normalize such behaviour is very destructive, from a power dynamics point of view. It should always be ostracized.

It's not about being able to provide proper care, it's about knowing before hand you are putting the kid's health at risk

There is a big difference between taking care of a kid who happens to be born with disabilities or other health problems and purposefully concieving a kid you know will have health problems amd possible disabilities

Well, sure, but it's not always that simple. What if they find out in the middle of pregnancy? Do you believe that an abortion would be the morally correct decision, then, if a doctor told them their child will be born with a disability?

@DreamWindow Again, there is a difference between finding out mid pregnancy with a partner you're not related to without knowing the chances and finding out mid pregnancy in an insestuos relationship you very well knew there'd be higher risk to the kid, and this is just birth defects, the immune system of a baby born out of incest being lower than one who's not is a given

DreamWindow said:

The point isn't about abortion being an option (personally i wouldn't do so unless there were life threattening risk to mother or child, and i won't go beyond that as i don't want to turn this answer into a thesis), the point is you're going to knowingly concieve a child whith higher risk of birth defects, and if your stance is pro abortion a higher chance you'll get an abortion, what kind of logic is that? Why would you knowingly concieve a child you might abort? For one you are, and i'm not gonna sugar coat this, killing the child, abortion is like euthinasia, you know the very contraversial thing some terminally ill people want? Exept in the latter case they are adults with their own free will, in the former the baby hasn't even had a chance to develope before someone else decides for them. For two, abortion also consist in risk to the mother, so again, why would you knowingly put yourself in that situation?

Because their love is so strong that it outweighs the increased risks for them.

So, you don't necessarily think it's wrong to knowingly give birth to a child with disabilities, if complications occurred mid-pregnancy? It seemed to me that you were against it entirely, so that's why I wanted to clarify.

I don't intend to open a broader discussion of abortion, I'm just trying to follow your logic. To me, it would seem as though, the only alternative to knowingly bringing a child into the world who has a disability would have to be an abortion. If it's already conceived, there's literally nothing else you can do. But If I'm understanding your prior statement correctly, you are less opposed to that. Again, feel free to clarify, if I get anything wrong.

@traed
That opens the discussion for designer babies, and eugenics, which I am most definitely not prepared to tackle at this point in time. For the sake of argument I want to keep it contained to just what cat said here.

That and there is the potential of gene therapy but that would have to be properly tested for safety and it will have to depend on what is being called a disability since some are fine to leave alone as they either are not inherently bad or have some positive aspects too and may be of questionable ethics to interfere with.
