[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, eugenics is frightening.[/quote] You do not have the authority to determine and police the morality, beliefs, and feelings of other people. We all prioritize different things. You say eugenics is frightening to you. You know what is frightening to me? The fact that sickle cell trait can cause sudden and unexpected death. The fact that sickle cell disease causes the blood inside of your veins to feel sharp (imagine the pain). The fact that the average life expectancy of those with sickle cell disease is 20 years shorter than those without. I agree with OP. I’d worry about my daughter or son ending up with the trait, and I’d be terrified that my future grand babies would end up with sickle cell disease. I happen to consider potential long-term negative outcomes, though.[/quote]
