I personally know a couple people with either a downy kid or downy relative. They smile, but you see the hollowness in their eyes. They're dead inside changing adult diapers.

the irony is that "retard babies are good actually, test of faith and all that" is actually a bvsed divine-command-theory take that actually works in functioning high-trust societies when retard babies are rare. and the church raises love gifts every Sunday morning
retard babies are not rare, not like in generations past
and the love-gift offerings are depleted very quickly in the real world

> Christians getting distracted away from "I'm having my 17th abortion lol" to go discuss down syndrome, autism and IVF.
Like a cat and a laser.

Fuck why'd I say autism? That's not something you're born with... There was something else I was meaning to say and I forgot it...
I think probably I meant to say "downs syndrome and IVF" and it's the Christians who are doing peak autism...
No, it's something like they plant 8 embryos hoping 1 will take and they kill embryos in the process and Christians have a freakout about it.
They chose the most viable embryo and let you choose the sex (weight of male embryo in VERY early stage is slightly lower from Y chromosome being smaller). The remaining embryos are often used for science experiments or other things. The moral question is whether or not killing or using the embryos for Science is immoral or unethical, and the debate over when human life actually begins. The selection aspect is one of the things that makes IVF so sketchy— how do we know that one of the other 8 eggs wouldn’t have taken and maybe it would have been perfectly healthy without genetic malformation. I don’t want to get lost in the details here, but I don’t like IVF.

They shouldn't be taking embryos for science experiments. Either make just enough to implant or have a surrogate on standby.
I suspect the extras are done intentionally and maliciously so that couples are helping procure and finance expensive research materials.

AFAIK the problem is they have a really high failure rate. In many cases they plant 8 and none take.
The problem is this is a motte and bailey.
The motte is some couple that wants to get pregnant or some woman that got raped and now is carrying a halfbreed , or downs syndrome, or mother's health, etc.
The bailey is "we're killing babies for Baal yaaaay" - and IMO anyone who is involved in abortion and says something like that SHOULD just be taken at their word and charged with murder 1.
