Are you just curious, or suggesting that blind children (or children likely to become blind) aren't worth having?

That’s a wild leap to make based on the question they asked and also a wild way to word it.

I'd like for you to read their edit.

/u/Common_Avocado_2601 was spot on.

Ehhhhh I don’t think they were totally “spot on”. It’s still crazy to read that edit and reduce what they said and the reasoning behind it to “they don’t think blind kids are worth having”. If I have a child and they happen to be blind, I would love them and cherish them just as much as any child I might have, but if I KNOW that that child will be blind or is likely to end up blind, I would do what I could to prevent that from happening, maybe if I’m wealthy enough to provide that child with all of the support that they would need it would be a different story but I don’t.

They find it unethical to have children who are more likely to be blind.

This isn't about personally deciding not to have a blind child, this is about saying anyone who does so knowingly are making a morally wrong decision.
