  Yes! Also, I can take “real” photos and store them on an SD card and never see them again, or I can have all my photos in my pocket for whenever I want a reminder of the good times I’ve had, or I want to show a friend

  A very thoughtful and considered response.

  Thank you :)

  I would disagree that only >18 year olds can give informed consent

  No disagreement needed, because that’s not what I said. I specifically said “children” because like you, I think that 18 is an arbitrary age

  I realise I didn’t explain why it’s bad for its own sake, as I was asked to… but seriously, murder is wrong whether it’s for eugenics reasons or just because you like killing. Do I have to explain that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should parents be allowed to euthanize their children if they have a diagnosis that just isn't worth dealing with?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eugenics doesn’t solely kill disabled people (who, by the way, were also targeted by Nazis), it’s about improving humanity by removing any humans who are undesirable. If you take that first step in removing undesirable disabled people, it’s an easy step to removing undesirable mentally ill people, queer people (because being gay or trans is often considered a mental illness), Jewish people, etc.

  It sounds like I’m making a slippery slope argument, and I am to a certain extent. But there’s also a very famous poem about this - “First they came…”

  Consent is not usually part of eugenics programs, and the original post was talking about killing children who definitionally can’t consent to such a big decision. This is why we don’t let children buy houses, surgically transition gender, or have sex with adults. And I did specifically mention that painless suicide is an option that I believe a truly free society should provide - for adults.

  Yep, hence my comment about other countries doing it also.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm old⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet anyone born in 2009 is only 12 years old. Kids these days just don’t put any effort into growing up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should parents be allowed to euthanize their children if they have a diagnosis that just isn't worth dealing with?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s called “eugenics”, and fuck no. Historically speaking, the Nazis were a huge fan of eugenics and that was their defining bad trait. Governments cannot allow their citizens to murder freely just because they don’t think someone else’s life is worth living.

  (I know a lot of countries dabbled in eugenics around that time, but they were also morally abhorrent to do so, and I’m not a historian to go into more detail)

  Since we’re talking about “should”, rather than the world as it exists today, parents should consider if they can care for a disabled child before they get pregnant. The government or community should have a safety net in place for those children who can’t (or won’t) be cared for at home, and it should be easy to access and high quality. Finally, in my opinion, it should be possible for adults to opt out of life painlessly if they so choose, once they have had a chance to experience a full life and decide it isn’t for them.

  I’m sorry that you’ve had such bad experiences, but allowing parents to kill their children legally is not the answer.

  Maybe try using a glass or a bottle to hold the vodka, instead of just holding it yourself? Anyway, GL licking your keyboard clean :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to wake up during nightmares?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had very similar dreams, especially the part about constantly fake-waking up. One method I’ve found to work is to shut my eyes then open them in a kinda exaggerated / forceful way to wake myself up.

  Always have a book by your bed and grab it, because you can’t read when you’re asleep. If you read one paragraph and then go back and re-read it, it will be different each time when you’re dreaming
