This is all that needs to be said! It gets the point across perfectly. |
What I mean by that is that they’re incompatible. It has negative consequences that are only mitigated by Rhogam. |
DP. "Meant" is a term that comes with connotation as well as denotation. It implies intent or design. I had my aortic heart valve replaced when I was 17, because the bicuspid, malformed valve had calcified and I was in critical heart failure. I wasn't "meant" to live. I think there is nothing wrong with using modern medicine to live anyway. A three year old with acute lymphoblastic leukemia isn't "meant" to live by your rhetoric. 1. Do you think it's okay for him to get chemotherapy and live a normal life? 2. He was preprogrammed to die before puberty, so would you say he wasn't "meant" to live until reproductive age and have children? Or do you think he wasn't "meant" to have children, and if so, what does that mean? |
!. Yes. 2. I need to stop using the word meant because that is not the message that I'm trying to convey. I cannot determine what is meant to happen. I can only infer based on what I know from looking at the facts. Here's my question for you. Would you agree that Rh incompatibility (without the intervention of modern medicine) is disadvantageous to the survival and wellness of offspring? |
⭐️for finally reading!! |
PP I would stop responding to these people. Your commentary was clear from the beginning. They keep coming back with strawman arguments because they never read what you wrote and are just too pathetic to admit that. Instead they keep digging in trying to pretend you said something you didn’t. |
This is a good point. Let's stop all genetically incompatible people from having kids together. Plus as a society we could save on medical costs and things like adult care since so many genetic disorders prevent people from living independent lives. I don't get why so many people are attacking you for this idea. |
Jesus christ. Not this shit again. |
So you also believe that carriers of genetic diseases shouldn't have kids together? Let's screen everyone for cystic fibrosis and make sure carriers don't have kids together, right? |
"Everyone must have mandatory genetic testing before their first date! And for something for which there's a simple shot to resolve.... because.... reasons..." |
If they're aware that they're both carriers then I believe they shouldn't (as two carriers can produce a child with full-blown cystic fibrosis), but I have no authority over any adult other than myself. I can only say that I believe doing so is wrong and selfish. I'm entitled to my own opinion. |
Exactly! Honestly this testing should be done at birth and kept in a government database. Healthcare costs are high enough anyway. |
Just like a million other negative consequences of biology that are mitigated by science and medicine and technology. |
If those negative consequences were easily avoidable, then I'd get your point. |
| If people are CF carriers I think they might want to know before TTC. At the very least, they can get a baby tested and treated early. My neighbors did not know for years their son had CF, just that he was sick a lot. |
