  • im in the boat of having a very bad permanent disability that makes it difficult for me to move. theres a pretty high chance id pass it on to my kids and theyd be in similar pain, perhaps less, perhaps more. like i get that its eugenics to say i wont have kids but itd kill me to see my kids dealing with the same things i had to deal with. obviously ive been able to find happiness in my life and do not want to die anytime soon. there were points in my life where i was close to death and if the dice were rolled a different way, i would be and it would have been a tragic thing you read on a newspaper about how some 9 yr old died today.

    im also kind of the opinion that genetics is overrated anyways, i intend on adopting. almost everyone is identical genetically aside from the occasional mutation, doesnt matter if the lineage gets passed on, the only lineage is the human lineage. and the human lineage has built in caretakers and adopters into our genetics. only thing that could convince me to have kids is if they had some sort of way to remove my genetic disorder from the fetus.
