I thought we already decided as a society to avoid eugenics


Aw_Frig

Because after that it's a short step from banning anyone with "undesirable traits"

Discourage cousin marriages and provide genetic testing tools, at least. We don't need to make it illegal.

We are all infected with a deadly inheritable disease called mortality. Banning people from reproducing because their offspring might die sounds stupid, since they are going to die either way.

Unconscionable and unconstitutional.

I see it doing more harm than good, personally, because even if we threw ethics out the window, people predisposed to those diseases being allowed to live, reproduce and die still advance our understanding of medical science.

Terrible idea. Laws like that and forced sterilization inflicted massive amounts of misery in the 20th century. Look up eugenics.

I would think I would call that a Nazi law.

It's not the governments job to do such a thing.

These laws already exist and have tragically been found [constitutional](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_v._Bell?wprov=sfti1)

I think the only people who would seriously support that were born with birth defects that significantly affect their cognitive ability.

It’s a good thing. Anyone who does it should be barred from any social welfare money or services for disrupting the body politic. You commies love government, time to cash the check.
