velvetechosI had to get this off my mind, and before you read it, I'm telling you now, I've got no apologies for my thoughts on this issue. If you don't want to read my opinion, then fuck off, don't. Although curiosity killed the cat, and just about everybody else, so I already know you will.
We watched some videos at work today, as a part of our training process. One of these videos described the meaning of "developmentally disabled", and also stated that mentally retarded individuals should be allowed to have children, because it isn't heriditary. I'm sorry, but I DO NOT agree with that.
I do not agree that people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, because it's their "right" to do so. I'm all for doing whatever you want with your own life, as long as it does not affect other people. Kill yourself? sure. Do drugs? As long as you don't go out in public. Gay marriage? All for it. Death penalty? Okay. Abortion? As long as it isn't partial-birth abortion.
Mentally disabled folk having children? Fuck no. Sure, it may not be heriditary, (and may I remind you, don't bitch at me for my opinion, I have a right to my own thoughts) but it will still effect the child's life in a negative way. It might make them more compassionate, but they will also grow to resent their parent(s), they will not have the opportunities other children are offered, they will not be treated as other children are treated, and it's likely they will live in a cycle of poverty, fear, self-doubt, and other terrible, terrible situations. It's giving them the unfair hand, before they are even born. It also affects the rest of society, in a negative fashion. The parent(s) will most likely be on SSI, and that is coming out of the taxpayers' pockets. They are probably also taking advantage of just about every other government aided program out there, which is also coming out of the taxpayers' pockets. It's just one big fucked up cycle.
There is enough human waste out there, and don't cry that I'm fucking prejudiced on this one, common sense tells us, mother nature tells us, that these people should not be having children. Most of the human race should not be having children, if we were all living by the law of the jungle, most of us would already be dead, from genetics, or from stupidity, and we wouldn't have this grotesque population boom. But we do, and we should try to cut down on it. People who cannot take care of themselves breeding, is just wrong.
Hate me if you want. There's my peice.

Date: 2003-11-18 05:03 pm (UTC)I am still deciding whether to have my own biological children or not. With depressions, diabetes (which I don't have, but runs in the family), heart disease, etc. Between me and my husband they don't have a very good chance for being mostly healthy :(
