Why are people ALLOWED to have “feelings” about this?!

Okay, maybe that question doesn’t make sense in itself. But I just read a post titled “What are your feelings about killing a handicapped child at birth?”

And really, some things are so terribly wrong that among decent people they shouldn’t be up for debate. Whether a particular kind of person should be alive is one of those things. I’m not interested in the “feelings” of people whose heads are full of biases and prejudices about people like me. Which is unfortunately nearly everyone. I’m only interested in the novel idea that nobody should ever be put in the position of having to justify their own existence.

And all this has been written in lieu of the string of obscenities that first came to mind. I don’t think some people can imagine what it is to know that you are considered half dead already, disposable, a mere bundle of suffering, and that you have to think every time you do something of whether or not it contributes to the idea you’re better off dead. Just, fuck.
