My position on abortion on crippled fetuses

[Meina]

The problem with that is that the tests used to determine disabilities in a fetus are not an exact science. I have worked with people before who have been told that their child will be born with a specific severe issue and the baby was born perfectly normal. They were horrified that they even considered abortion for a minute. Of course there's the argument that they wouldn't have known either way, but the point is that we can never really know what the state of the child is until they're born--unless and until the technology used to determine the health of the baby is perfected.

I have to point out aswell that it depends on what you'd determine as "crippled". A leg deformity but otherwise 100% normal? Or mental retardation? Children with physical deformities can often go on to have healthy normal lives, and healthy normal children.

I think there are disabilities, diseases and deformities nobody should have to live with (like epidermolysis bullosa) and they should be aborted so in very extreme cases i support so called eugenics (also i support abortion in rape cases), but i'm heavily against sterilization or killing of people who are already alive especially if they themselves don't want that (like nazis).
