She's not wrong. If we kill all the dogs, then there will be less rabies being spread. Same thing happened during the Bubonic plague, and killing rats was the only solution, and it worked. On a side not, we should also kill all mosquitoes while we're at it. It is a shame the science is there, but there may be unintended consequences to it...

In Iceland, they do this with Down Syndrome-diagnosed human beings, but for real. If you find your thing absurd and laughable, then etc , an actual moral problem. The whole context of the OP suggests that it's just piss-takes but the real serious problem remains that in Iceland, they claim to cure the disease by continally killing the patients, which remains a logical absurdity regardless of one's morality or lack thereof.

I, as a white person, hope that someday we and our race take ourselves away from this earth. I hope we leave the poor minorities that we've all damaged alone. I just hope that someday all the evil that my fellow white people have caused is reversed. All the africans can get to go back home, and all the poor jews get to reunite with their families. I am sorry for what my white people did. I hope we all die, and leave the earth for you guys like it should have been.

You completely missed the point of the initial post about Iceland abortions. To be fair, I was drunk at the time and I wrote poorly. My point was not "abortion is bad" (it is). I left that to one side.

My point was, "it is obviously stupid and illogical to claim that you have cured a disease, by continually and pre-emptively killing the fetuses/people who you identify as having the disease." But this is precisely what Iceland claims to have done, and must continue doing on an ongoing basis, if it wishes to keep its Downie population at zero. But short of genetic engineering which altogether precludes its formation during pregnancy in a given population, the /disease itself/, the condition, clearly hasn't been "cured". And this is semantically obvious to reasonable human beings regardless of their personal morality, religion, or lack thereof: I'm an atheist btw.

Well yeah, it's like how chemo and immunotherapy cures cancer by killing the patient with a hospital infection or cachexia instead.
