Could a Insurance company deny a person Life Insurance if they found out that person might get Alzhiemers.

If Alcholism is found out to be gentic, could a job deny a person a job because of it.

I fail to see how any of that relates to my post.

You've just stereotyped the whole pro-life movement. Although I myself I'm not part of it, I know that there are diverse views regarding abortion in the pro-life crowd: some believe all abortion should be banned, others make medical exeptions, and others still believe that only fetuses of a certain age are viable for protection.

Know the ideology you condemn before making ridiculous blanket statements abou it.

I wouldn't kill my kid because he was going to be different than everyone else, no.

That's why I posed it :)

I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably let my spouse decide.

I think that personally, I could never bring myself to do that or force someone to do that, but if that's what they believe and they won't be persuaded, then that's what they're going to do. I mean if you think about it, there are laws against marijuana, but people still smoke. So what's going to stop someone from getting an abortion? Not that we should encourage abortions, but I think you know what I mean.

Why?

Because I would choose not to bring a person into life with a permanent, debilitating problem. With the option to avoid it, I would. I want any offspring to be healthy and able to lead complete, satisfactory lives. I already explored this topic to exhaustion with gunter, if you're just looking for ways to attack me or the wording of this post, then skip it, because it'll be boring.

If designer babies are so common in the future and you didn't design your child, so he is at risk for lets say Huntingdons Disease, should he be restricted Life Insurance.

I'm not looking for a fight I was just curious to see the reasoning you would use deam someone as a less than adaquate person. Naturally I could nit pick the arbitrary nature of factors you indicated but as you said that would be boring. I will point out however, that your assumptions seem somewhat ignorant.

Well, going through with it is a lot less horrifying than watching it go through a partial-abortion. Besides, like others have said, there's always putting it up for adoption.

Eat it.

And that has nothing to do with my post.

I didn't make any assumptions.
