To stop producing children with disabilities, the major way out is to prevent the people with disabilities from reproducing. How can this be done?
Yes it is possible and it is already in play, I mean, people now adopt such means. However, it doesn’t mean that people with disabilities don’t deserve to be born. It only means that you’re preventing someone from living a life of pain, so if you can prevent it, why not. It isn’t a preventive measure. If there is an opportunity to prevent someone from living a lifetime of pain and suffering, you’d be crazy not to take it.
Many genetic abnormalities are due to recessive genes that only affect children who inherit two copies of the gene. Affected people are often severely ill and probably won’t have children anyway. So, sterilizing them doesn’t do any good. You could still claim that preventing people with abnormalities from having children would be helpful, but most chromosomal abnormalities either prevent people from having children or aren’t transmitted to the next generation.
