there's a conversation here to have about curing mental illness or even how we conceive of mental illness. above commenter is skipping some steps and I hope you won't hold it against them. basically, it's should we be looking at altering the way someone is born before we alter the material conditions of our society that are causing them pain.

it's probably better to examine and ask people with Downs instead of just assuming. they have more of a voice and things to say on the matter than we currently want to hear because we automatically see their existence as a heinous burden. while that isn't exactly fascism, it is kind of a dick move.

not the guy you were replying to, I just thought I could translate their intention.

It's associated with fascism because a lot of fascist individuals and regimes have and still do fetishize this as a way of eliminating undesirables.

Your editing out human traites found not to your liking as if a Nazi and the third reich did thats Eugenics and facasium

This isn't a glowing in the dark petunia that also uses Crisper technology.

Being reduced to “cell function” is a very dehumanizing way of putting things .

Many humans are born as a variant of humanity. People who have different traits are not a disease it's society that pathologies other humans that fails to look at the oppressive environments that is the disease.

When a flower isn’t growing you change ITS ENVIRONMENT not blame the flower for not thriving.

Some people would rather not learn compassion, understanding, empathy, and humanity towards one another which in part disables anyone who isn't the main genotype and only want genetic copies of themselves to have authoritarian control over humanity again a tenet of facasium.
