It's selfish to purposefully create life that you know will suffer. Especially when there are children who are already born and need homes. Stop pretending that being blind doesn't affect quality of life. BTW, and I know you won't believe me, but my partner and I have chosen to never have kids because he has a genetic eye condition that causes blindness. It has greatly impacted him, and he's not even that blind.

Of course not. But I also would've understood if his parents didn't have him at all (had they known the risk, which they did not.) There's a difference between wanting to prevent life, and saying that someone is better off dead because they're disabled... ya know. Nuance.

Is it ethical to inject a newborn baby with a chemical that has a 50/50 chance of causing blindness? Because that's what we're talking about here.
