Why don't we euthanize severely retarded/low functioning children?

You're first in line OP

>88

>This is what a libtard sci thinks.

I'd say the faggots who want to purge the weak is an extremely small minority. Most purgers just want to get rid of the morally reprehensible.

because then you wouldn't be posting here

It would violate basic human rights.

/thread

it's enough to sterilize them so they dont reproduce (and of course only if their defects are hereditary)
if there are people who want to care for these people, let them

Because we need leftist voters in a democracy

Because there's a caretaking industry that would crumble without them.

Because one day they can grow up to be president

Ah, so the same reason we can't stop using coal in power plants

tip top kek

Asperger's, not classical autism.

I mean i have autism but i dont go waving my arms around like a fucking nigger and screaming like one aswell. But to answer you question yes all low functioning children/adults should be euthanized.

10/10

in our society, i dont know like at you. But in my country disabled people are considered as saints, like cows in India
Cyкa!

Because we do every day?
Let me guess you haven't even read basic ethics textbook to even know what you are talking about but yet here we are asking/making stupid statements like this.
Fucking idiots on this board I swear,you have no business here if you dont know what you are talking about.

do it to me first

Because that makes you literally Hitler

You may gain some insight into this by considering why we don't grind dead people into hamburger?

I don't want to be "that guy", but you will understand if you one day have a child. You'll love him or her no matter what and if they turn into an autist or are retarded it will be devastating, but you will still be driven to protect and love them.

why don't I stop paying taxes to educate your perfectly fine children?

Because people don't live in a controlled environment, eat shit all day, our meat is full of toxins and 100% of a human's diseases can be contracted by other humans.
Also, most people die of old age or disease, meaning even worse quality of meat. And the ones who are killed aren't killed in a calm manner and the fear further ruins the meat and usually aren't collected and stored properly. The ones who are killed in a properly controlled environment are usually given a lethal shot, which is basically poison.
Also, people have an illogical attachment to the bodies of dead family members

you tell em!

>Photo reading was developed by studying a guy who appears to have down syndrome. Funny thing, later discovered to have read an entire library, and remembered even the page number of anything you asked him.
Are you talking about Kim Peek?

The morally weak are still weak. Harm for harm's sake is never a moral good, and so while we should practice preventative methods to keep these people from harming others, their being morally reprehensible doesn't give us license to carry out morally reprehensible actions upon them without sufficient cause.
Just like breaking a bone as a child can cause a limp for life, so to can the brain be malformed through no fault of its own. The worst of us, pedophiles that abuse children, often were abused themselves as children. We are born into this world swimming in the rapids with no fins and the only beings to help us were born into the same circumstance; it's just a clusterfuck, and wanting to "purge" any group of peoples shows a distinct lack of empathy or at least a misunderstanding of the situation.

You have a point.

Also, most of these things can happen to anyone.

I'd rather live in a society where people who can't take care of themselves are aided.

goddamn, son.

Did he also process the information or just memorize it all?

you fucker

Why eat meat at all? It uses 3x the land and water crops production does calorie for calorie.

Well said.

The weak bring us all down. It's not evil to kill off the retards, its utilitarian value is positive to anyone capable of critical thinking.

Having to accommodate and care for them is extremely taxing both financially and psychologically on huge swathes of society. No-one who regularly has to deal with them shares your opinion.

That's why im a vegan

Because $chan would be over.

Made me smile on the outside

because some day someone might decide that your group should be the next to die for being the weak link.
better for all of us if we don't go down that dark path.

>human rights.
no bigger spook than this one

Since when is the Law of Natural Selection Angry?

Since when was the 'Law of Natural Selection' a considered ethical stance?

this.

satan, is that you?

Yes. You could very well argue that, outside some goat meat and similar fed on organic matter growing in places not suitable to farming.

>Also, people have an illogical attachment to the bodies of dead family members
Keep working on this part, you are getting closer to the reason for the OP.

Tы wot m8? Russia treats its disabled like shit. Much worse than Europe or US. Probably even worse than some 3rd world shitholes, because some primitive people at least have strict moral codex. See Caucasus for example.

because if we did that, there wouldn't be any hillary voters left

correction, there wouldn't be any flag burning temper tantrum throwers left, whoever you voted for is beside the point

Because we have the resources to keep them alive and their parents happy, and its not like they're actively breeding either.

The morality is subjective, but the utilitarian value is definitely not a positive. An actual genocide requires that people be killed and the bodies disposed of. We'd have to pour resources into carrying it out, making bodybags, digging graves, etc. And even then, that doesn't stop another one from being born because anyone can give birth to a retarded child. It would be the most pointless thing ever and basically amount to some fetish fuel for sadistic fucks and nightmare fuel for sane people.

beat you to it.

It tastes good

lets say we did live in a world were we could euthanize severely disabled kids, i'm imagine the parents could still decide whether or not they wanted to raise the child because it's, y'know, their kid. from what i understand one of the reasons why people like the idea of euthanasia is because they view disabled people as a waste of resources, but if the parents have the time and energy to raise a child like that then surely it'd be their choice. it may be viewed as a bad one, but that's besides the point

aside from that, you'd have to be able to define "severely retarded/low functioning".
taking autism as an example, it's difficult to tell if a child even has it until around the time they're meant to start speaking(?) because it's a developmental disorder. you can't just kill all children who are late to start speaking. say a child gets diagnosed with autism at around age 2, the parents have already developed an attachment to that child and probably won't be keen on getting rid of it

say instead of killing these children though, you proposed that we sterilize them instead. while that may seem more reasonable, as i said previously people supposedly like euthanasia because they don't want disabled people to waste resources. sterilizing disabled people would be fucking stupid, because how often do you think a non verbal autistic person has sex, let alone have a child? it would be a ridiculous waste of resources, which is literally the exact opposite of what's intended.

there is a slight flaw in this argument though, which is "why don't we sterilize people who are likely to have low functioning children"? that runs into issues with autonomy, although so does everything else about euthanasia so that's moot

tl;dr euthanizing children is unlikely to happen because parents generally like their kids, and sterilizing them/their parents is a massive waste of resources

thanks /pol/

>once you salt it, put butter on it and cook it in a very specific way

boil a steak and tell me meat tastes good :)

Speaking as a retard wrangler for your average American elementary school district I have to just come out and say it.

The bottom 20% are hopeless, useless, annoying, disruptive and what retard symapthizers don't wsnt you to know, violent. Just yesterday I watched on retarded girl throw shoes at aids and other students. This same girl picks at her skin resulting in bruises and wounds. These kids require new teeth fillings every year because they eat rocks and shit. They are trying really REALLY hard to die. With a moderate to severe child my job is to prevent nature from taking it's course. These childre do everything in their power to die, I'm paid to do everything in mine to deny nature and Darwin it's natural course.

Around 80% of them are alright but fuck the bottem 20, they are literal subhumans, dangerous to everyone around them including other, more capable retarded kids, even to themselves. Euthanize them I say.
