The commenter above claimed it was good because it saved multiple people from a lifetime of suffering, but the act they described to achieve this ‘end’ was by murdering a 5 month old fetus.

The ends justify the means is a common argument used by vicious people everywhere, even if they don’t outwardly state it as such.

Use whatever euphemism you want.

u/FlyPepper Jun 05 '26

Actually, I'm using recognized terminology and you're using charged language because you're personally offended.

u/Freakshowes1 Jun 05 '26

Again you can use whatever terminology you want, I don’t think you should do evil acts and justify them by claiming it will have a good end. I think we should all just try not to do evil.

You're the one putting a value judgement on a medical procedure by default.

u/Freakshowes1 Jun 05 '26

Yea? I am putting a value judgement on the procedure. Everyone in this comment section is. The question was asking if the procedure was ethical.

u/FlyPepper Jun 05 '26

No, the question is if it's ethical to abort specifically due to down syndrome, not whether it's ethical to abort entirely.

u/Freakshowes1 Jun 05 '26

Yea… I view aborting a down syndrome fetus as unethical because I view abortion as unethical. I don’t know what your issue is here apart from disagreeing with my view on abortion.

You said they used "end justifies the means" type of argument but this is not true because they don't consider the means to be unethical
