Someone is choosing for you. That aspect is the same. Who choses and who loses, to make a cute little rhyme out of it? If someone told my mother that she was not allowed to have me because prescans indicated defects, I wouldn't be here. I'm glad I'm here. I overcame them. No signs. I'd give that freedom of choice to anybody who wishes to go through it. == Me personally? I wouldn't care if I was sterilized. I got no reason to procreate. There's more than enough kids in foster homes waiting for adoption and *that* system really needs fixing up so if I ever wanted kids, I'd just raise someone else's progeny. My bloodline doesn't matter to me. But I wouldn't take away that choice from others who wished to procreate, even if it was a "burden on the system". Fuck the system. Procreate. Don't procreate. But if you're gonna tie someone's tubes or snip 'em or feed them a chemical that stops them from being able to have kids because they harbor undesirable future traits? Nope. Can't find a valid justification for that. It's people. Not money. Fuck money. Humanity will figure out a way. ==
