I am extremely pro genetic testing if there are regulations applied properly that keep it relatively safe. Autism is obviously a grey area as has been highlighted, but I'm sure nobody could really disagree that there are no upsides to some awful genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis
Isn't the whole thread about a potential/hypothetical treatment? Lmao. It's not an illness, no, it's a mental condition and I'm not saying you shouldn't get help, but you're not inherently entitled to it. Why should anyone help you at the end of the day? They don't owe it to you by any means so if you can argue why you should get extra assistance whilst also denying a potential "cure", then by all means argue your case.
I don't see the need to agru with someon like you ive generally not met anyone with such arrogance. Just small simple things can help someone with autism
Remember you cant see autism so you don't know who has it and who doesn't but we can not help it its not our fault so why should we be put down for something thats not out fault?
does gene therapy mean somehow manipulating already existing genes to make them 'better' or choosing to not have children/abort ones that have problems? either way, yes id choose to abort/change genes for unborn children if i could. i carry a very life limiting disorder and i have the ability to test any of my unborn children for it and would choose to abort them if they had the disorder, it would be nicer on the child who doesn't deserve to be born with it.
I don't understand why you're getting so upset - are you sure you're reading what he's saying or are you just reading what you want him to say? Like, I can see if he was saying the stuff you're accusing him of saying then obviously that would be unacceptable and fuck him but he's actually not saying any of that.
What does not being able to see autism immediately in someone have anything to do with his posts at all? I'm also 100% sure he has not even implied that people with autism should be 'put down' as you say.
:S
