Wait, you knew there were family gut problems that were inheritable and you still chose to have kids? That is damn irresponsible of you, please tell me that you are not going to be pushing for grandkids to sentence yet another generation to misery. If you've got inheritable health problems, it is cruel to be having kids.

DA

People usually find out about this over a period of time. Not necessarily before or immediately after a child is born.

And how do you know about whether or not these conditions are very life threatening, anyhow?

nayrt

There's a difference between being aware of a family issue where one part of your life might be higher maintenance, and rolling the dice with a curse that will severely limit a kid's quality of life. If we all chose not to have kids because we fear they might have to be a little more responsible with their health... there wouldn't be a lot of humans on the planet right now (which, yes, I realize might not be a bad thing).

Ayrt doesn't mention the severity of the problems. We have no idea if it's chronic constipation or something that literally tears up the colon.

Also, notice they said kid. Singular. Not kids. If they knew there was a 90% chance of their kid inheriting, say, a rare bone cancer that might kill them in their teens, and they continued to have kids, THAT would be irresponsible.

Besides, eating healthful foods is just a good idea. If all you eat is McDonald's, and never even look at a vegetable unless it's deep fried, is it really a surprise if you get the runs all the time?

Yeah, there should be a lot less people on the planet. Birth control based on lactose intolerance alone would pretty much solve our population issue. And a lot of economic and human rights abuse issues too.

Whoa there Thanos

IKR

I object to that accusation. Thanos was using some random bullshit that wouldn't have solved the problems at all. Randomness, or the illusion thereof, might have let him sell it to himself, but it would have left all the problems he wanted to tackle and all the ones I want to tackle all intact. Fucking amateur. I'm talking specific and targeted public health measures which would actually work.

You don't seem to understand. I was being generous when comparing you to Thanos, instead of some other genocidal maniac who existed in recent history.

What complete and utter nonsense. And to choose lactose intolerance of all things. I'm sure it's totally a coincidence that most people with that condition live in Africa, South Asia and South America.

I don't want to have to learn Mandarin or Hindi in my seventies.

Are you aware lactose intolerance is mostly found outside of white populations? You really might want to rethink your criteria there, Adolf.

I love shitty arguments like this because they always show the poster's lack of education. Lactose intolerance is actually the NATURAL state of being. Drinking milk over the age of infancy is unnatural and developing lactose intolerance is the normal reaction of a body after not getting regular dosages of mother's milk after being weaned because the body shouldn't need to be able to dismantle lactose anymore.
I know this is likely a troll but damn, it's a dumb one.

Yeah, I probably should have invested in genetic testing and aborted my child because of the family history of IBS, but y'know it just didn't occur to me at the time for some reason.
Jackass.

No need for abortion. You could have used brith control or vasectomy/ligation. But, yeah, you really ought to have sprung for a health check of yourself and your partner to make sure there were no major health factors you could pass onto an innocent kid, like IBS.

But none of what AYRT has specified they actually have(IBS) is enough to choose not to have a child, much less get a vasectomy. How about you don’t die on this hill? Especially because the child has already been born, and it’s bad form for some stranger to say that shouldn’t have happened. Instead of merely saying maybe rethink having another kid if the circumstances are bad.

I know you mean well, but don’t jump the gun into the least charitable assumption you could make based on extremely little information. “Gut problems” could mean so many things, which vary in severity, with some being very manageable. So you are a jackass, just a well-meaning one.

There's not a whole lot of well meaning about this troll.

What a dumb, unhelpful comment.

IBS isn't a major health issue,. It can be severe but for a large portion of people it's a mild inconvenience. You are a jackass and an awful human being.

Yeah, eugenics is really a reasonable response to a condition that can apparently be managed by eating leafy greens on a regular basis.

"disabled people don't deserve to live" is maybe not the hill you want to die on stranger.
