Apologies then just your reply seemed to indicate that you were agreeing with these screenings and the termination that follows them being eugenics.

My litmus test for eugenics requires an ideological and social engineering component.

Simply telling parents well if you bring a child to the world they’ll die within 2 years and suffer greatly isn’t that. Neither is offering them other tools such as using a sperm or egg donor or adoption.

The OP to which I declined to reply says: No one should be born with Tay-Sachs, a genetic disease.

I agreed with a reply to that suggesting such an extreme and unnuanced statement amounted to eugenics since the only means to actually ensure that no child will ever be born with X genetic disease would require rather extreme measures that go far beyond providing testing and options.

There is a difference between saying something shouldn't happen, and it should be prevented by any means necessary.

I really shouldn't smoke. I don't endorse SS officers killing me if I do.
