I know someone who works with severe/profoundly disabled children that make down's syndrome seem like super powers. The sole goal in educating most of them is to teach them how to feed themselves so that when they inevitably end up institutionalized they don't starve to death. The vegetables don't even have that much of a chance at survival. None of these children will never be happy, either because they do not have enough of a brain (I mean this literally, as many are born with parts of their brains missing) to have emotions or else because they exist in relentless agony from the day they are born. Even those few who aren't visibly deformed are prone to such awful, completely involuntary violent behavior that they horrify and repel all but the most dedicated/deranged of caregivers. There is no happy ending to be found, only endless misery for the children and everyone who interacts with them. In short, kill all babies then kill all non-babies.

People with downs have a higher employment rate than the average dnder so I think we aborted the wrong people.

So wait why are downs people a burden because they're supported by tax payer dollars? Because abortions are supported by tax payer dollars too. Something doesn't quite add up...

The Taint Reaper posted:So wait why are downs people a burden because they're supported by tax payer dollars? Actually, there's a strict prohibition in the US from using tax dollars to fund abortion because one really old democrat from Michigan kept saying it had to happen to get the ACA passed so they entertained him. That aside, saying this is sort of like people who go "I don't have money to pay for an abortion!" and then have a kid despite the fact a kid costs way more than an abortion.

Durzel posted:The Wikipedia link for Downs is pretty sobering reading and pretty much stops short of saying "everything you could imagine could go wrong with a human can and probably will". The list of things which can go wrong is extensive. However, most cases of Down's are mild to moderate and most of the listed issues do not occur. It's like looking at the list of possible side effects for a drug; it's very very unlikely that all of them will manifest. So it's not particularly physically debilitating in the great majority of cases. Here is something on disability and happiness: http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-27554754 A study in the American Journal of Genetic Medicine found that 99% of people with Down's were happy with their lives. Their families also reported higher rates of happiness. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21910246/ quote:Abstract http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajmg.a.34293/abstract So various posters' arguments about consigning someone to a life of misery are false. Don't let facts get in the way of your opinions though. therattle fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Jul 12, 2014 |

It's mostly a projection of their own discomfort and their own imagining of being in the situation of being literally retarded. However, those with Downs are happy generally because they can't or don't really ever feel unhappy. That's why they poo poo themselves and masturbate in public because they know no shame and give zero fucks about the whole affair since they cannot easily learn or comprehend why that is a bad thing and wrong while everyone around them knows better. Essentially what I'm saying is that they're more akin to animals and pets rather than human beings and children.

You would be generally happier, does it really matter why? The only difference is in this instance you would actually get to make the choice.

therattle posted:Our son has Down's. We found out during pregnancy and decided to go ahead. I initially didn't want to but am incredibly glad we did. He's awesome. Unlike you, OP. You're just an rear end in a top hat. (As, unsurprisingly, most of you). You'll probably never really understand loving somebody unconditionally, and your life will be poorer for it. It's great you found it in yourself to raise a child who may never be self-sufficient or independent, but that doesn't give you the right to poo poo all over anyone who wouldn't want to make the same choice you did. dik-dik posted:Probably a grand total of two people in this thread who've ever actually interacted with someone with Down syndrome for more than five minutes total. That sounds about right. I was 8, he was around 10 I think. In that time, he managed to bash me in the head with a seatbelt buckle when I wouldn't give him the book I was reading, then scream and cry when I got mad at him for it. Then I got in trouble for antagonizing him. Anything else I know is stuff I read in news articles or whatever, and they all sound like a living nightmare to raise. Public temper tantrums up until the age of 30, issues with potty training well past normal children, crippling emotional issues they may never be equipped to really deal with. I'm not ashamed to say I would abort the moment I found out my kid would be born with Downs. I'm sure they're all little blessings when they're infants through preteens, but they aren't going to mature much more past that age, so you'll still be dealing with a little kid, only he'll be big and strong enough to be a real problem for you and everyone else forced to deal with him. I'm sorry, I just couldn't live like that. The Bible fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Jul 12, 2014 |

rcman50166 posted:nice try forums user chuck tanner Seriously man, it is just uncanny how you are able to detect your name in any thread just minutes after it comes up. Do you check every thread in GBS repeatedly all day, or are you running some sort of script that parses threads repeatedly and emails you when your name or picture pops up? I'm not mad about it or anything, I'm just honestly curious as to how you do it.

I totally understand why people would choose to abort. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to call people assholes for acting like assholes. The most valid reason for terminating, to me, is that you just don't want a child with Down's. Being mean about people with Down's (not that you've been) is just lovely though. As for health, quality of life concerns, burden to society etc - those aren't particularly valid. It boils down to not wanting a child with a disability. Regarding independent living, that's our goal, pretty much.

That survey saying Down's people are happy is kind of dumb. If your family and social workers spend your entire life telling you how great you are because you remembered to put a shirt on in the morning you will be pretty happy with life. Plus, the WWE streams their pay-per-views now so you don't have to beg mom to order SummerSlam.
