| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment There are some extreme cases I think most people could agree on, like some of the more serious diseases you mentioned. Racist/murderous eugenicists opearte on the opposite side of the spectrum. But what about traits in between that some people think are detrimental but others don't? I' not fundamentally disagreeing with you, just curious where you would draw the line and how you think that line should be socially determined and regulated? by Disinformation_Bot@lemm.ee reason: Rule 1 |
| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment While I agree with this, US and to a lesser degree global politics is making a very good argument that easily available information has no impact on peoples ability to act responsibly. by Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world reason: Rule 1 |
| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment For starters, I think it should be something backed entirely by science with very little political involvement in the discussion. Following that, I think it should start strictly with things we can identify perfectly and from there should be strictly things that decrease the lifespan by more than 30 years or that totally prevent a normal standard of living. No one needs to be sterilized because they have glasses, but I'd argue that colorblindness should go given that we color code our infrastructure.
Simultaneously we need to pair this with a cultural movement to glorify the idea of adoption and proactive sterilization while establishing a system to provide safe and curated ivf or surrogacy to those who can't ethically reproduce. It's not their fault they were born this way and their sacrifice is a heroic venture, they deserve to pass on their cultural lineage as much as anyone. by Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world reason: Rule 1 |

| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment I think eugenics is bad if it gets taken too far. If you take it little steps at a time it will probably be ok.

| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment Exactly, and that provides a great example as to how fucking stupid previous "eugenicists" are. Everyone talks shit on eugenics because Nazis pretended to believe in eugenics. by Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world reason: Rule 1 |

I firmly believe that it isn't ethical to bring a child into the world knowing it's going to have a condition that will effect it's quality of life severely and likely continue to do so for generations to come. We have the tech to predict, modify, and avoid tons of issues. We already do it regularly with Downs. It would take tragically little effort to do the same for things like sickle cell, psoriasis, color blindness, even some mental illnesses.

| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment Sure, but these sorts of relationships are both less common and less frowned upon. The thread asked for one's most unpopular opinion. by blarghly@lemmy.world reason: Rule 1 |
| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment I agree, but I'm surprised you didn't mention older women who target younger men. Everything is also applicable to them - lust is an equal opportunity employer. by LuckyPierre@lemm.ee reason: Rule 1 |
| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment Older men having sex with sexually mature teen girls is fine, under reasonable circumstances. The world seems to think this is always coercive or predatory or harmful, but there is no reason any of these things are universally true.
The age of consent in almost all nations is around 18. This stands to reason, since society expects people of this age to be able to make reasonable decisions. Depending on the country, people around this age are given agency to emancipate themselves from their families, take on hundreds of thousands of dollars of student debt, join the military and possibly die for their country, drive an automobile, buy alcohol or tobacco, etc. If we believe someone is mature enough to do these things, then we should certainly give them the lawful right to have sex with whomever they like.
Meanwhile, women often find maturity, status, or wealth to be attractive qualities in men, and men find youthfulness to be an attractive quality in a woman. Of course, this differs person to person - everyone had different sexual preferences. But there are general trends, and based on these trends, the pairing of younger women and older men is an obvious one.
The typical response to this is that "the only reason a man would want to date a woman that young is so he can have someone to control and manipulate" - which is crazy. The primary reason men want to date younger women is because they are hot. However, because there is a social stigma against age gap relationships, most men are put off of their interest to pursue younger women. So what you end up with is *only* dirtbags pursuing younger women - the men who do not care about negative social stigmas.
However, if you are a man who is interested in dating younger women, this whole situation works to your favor - if you are willing to tolerate the social stigma, you end up with much less competition for the women you find most attractive. by blarghly@lemmy.world reason: Rule 1 |
| 1 day ago | mod | Removed Comment I mean, a further controversial opinion - the 18 year old cutoff is completely arbitrary. If we were somehow able to confer the ability to consent based on the maturity level of the individual, then the consent age of any given person might be lower, or might extend all the way to their death. In a small communal society where everyone has intimate knowledge of everyone else, this might be possible, and even preferred. But on the scale of nations, we need rules which are legible to courts, which means we say "the age of consent is X", and assume it covers most cases decently enough. by blarghly@lemmy.world reason: Rule 1 |
