You're correct in saying it's not fair on that child, because it's not fair in the slightest. But like I said, natural selection will eventually put a stop to that particular bloodline's continuation.
Except in areas such as Africa where people actually have to be capable of surviving to survive, natural selection does not really occur in the human race anymore.
Reluctantly agree since some form of selection is necessary to ensure our survival as a species.
My definition of a serious inheritable disability is the following:
1. A disability that has an 80% or greater chance of being inherited.
2. A disability that will place a severe burden on the state/healthcare services in caring for the offspring. By severe, I mean near constant medical procedures to keep them alive and/or a substantially reduced intelligence (and I'm talking much lower than Naso/Josh22 levels here) that means that the state/healthcare services must care for them for effectively their entire lives.
Before I'm asked, methods of enforcement will need to be statutory neutering, as in vasectomy or tubal ligation, preferably reversibly since we may one day be able to "cure" the disability.
Jake, a hysterectomy is not the same as tubal ligation - a hysterectomy is a major operation that involves the removal of the entire womb in most cases and is usually only performed to treat cancer these days.
