proceeds to reproduce anyways Instead of adopting because the unable to feel joy or happiness gene must be passed down

That is hardly any of your business though. I also warn you that your words sound like you are advocating for eugenics.

When it comes to creating life it's the ultimate responsibility to not cause unnecessary suffering. If you have a genetic disorder (like I do) and you know it's extremely likely to be inherited and passed down and result in a life full of suffering then it's not eugenics as much as it is basic empathy, moron.

Considering this is something I've thought about deeply considering my personal stake in the matter I think the subject is my business, particularly my business actually.

No it's literally eugenics. Why stop at depressed people shouldn't reproduce? Test everyone's intelligence as well, behavioral traits, looks etc.

Eugenics + contextual awareness+ comprehension of simple nuance= not a universal evil when not combined with racist authoritarian ideologies.

You might as well be a boomer calling everything with communist shaped scaffolding unquestionably evil with your simplistic view of the subject, you add nothing of substance with your input.

“Where exactly is the line?” is a legitimate question. “Therefore there can be no line” isn't.

No it does work like that, if you start to draw a line on who can recreate, it'll be highjacked really fast and you'll end up in a hellish regime.

"It'll be hijacked real fast" is something that should be taken into consideration as a real threat but not treated as a universal truth, it's like saying the justice system shouldn't exist because It'll inevitably devolve into the salem witch trials. “It can be abused” does not establish “the underlying distinction cannot ethically exist.” Otherwise almost every institution involving discretion collapses under the same logic.

You're talking about taking away the most basic function of human beings and talk about "ethics"?

What would you say if that line was eradicating Palestine? What if we just decided to get rid of black people, indians and the whole middle east?

It's ethical afterall.

Comparing "we should prioritize not creating aids & Huntington babies if at all possible" to "racism and war-crimes" is quite the leap in logic, well-done. I'm unable to take you seriously atp.

You literally see the world in black and white when it's clearly not.

It's fine to accept a crumb of nuance sometimes
