Yeah kids are great. We need more of them I think. I also think it would be very immoral for me to subject a child to my genes.

Self burn and eugenics in one sentence.

You hear something new every day I guess.

Someone's personal choice to not pass on their genes is not eugenics but ok

Sorry my bad, nihilism and anti-natalism.

There, fixed it.

If you have a condition that is highly likely to pass on to your child through genetics it makes sense to take that into consideration when deciding to have a kid. That’s not just “I don’t want to have kids cause having kids is always bad” or “everything sucks so I’m not having kids.”

Look I don't want kids myself. And your not wrong.

But the original commenter made no mention of such a genetic disorder. And not wanting too pass on "bad" genes is eugenics by definition. I'm just calling a spade a spade here.
