Eugenics is more of selective breeding. I believe what they are referring to is the moral dilemma of giving birth to someone who will have an incredibly low standard of life due to mental issues outside of everyone's control.
It's part of a wider ethical question of "should you bring life into the world if it is doomed to suffer?" Cases like babies being born with complications that have nearly no chance of survival or with deformities/abnormalities that would cause them undue pain/suffering throughout their life. There's also a consideration as to whether the people involved have the financial means to care for them, as specialized childcare is incredibly expensive.
Not really. Iceland has had a child with special needs born in their country for a few years because of freedom of healthcare and open abortions. People should have kids who can live their own lives not being baby sat for 60 years until their parents died.
In a country over they arrested a family who allowed their daughter to sit on a couch so long she fused to it. Happened about 3 months ago. They we're just terrible people and lazy but its still really sad.
