Allowed, sure, just don’t think it’s a good idea to completely change who you are. I want humans to be recognizable as such. I’m more worried about what parents will be doing to their children, that’s where the eugenics shit becomes a problem. Getting rid of “undesirable” traits and whatnot.
I’ll give a real answer in spite of your strawman.
Of course not. I believe every single person’s value is innate to their being, not derived from their ability, shape or productivity. Everyone deserves respect (until their actions say otherwise) and equality.

Perhaps a really shitty question you should ask yourself is if you could go back in time and choose to be born with downs syndrome, would you?
If not then why? If not, isn’t it slightly hypocritical that you believe others, without their consent, should be?

Some people are way too attached to their disabilities.
Would you prefer that autistics and those with down syndrome cease to exist?
Removing mental and physical developmental issues from future generations; yes I personally would prefer that ceases to exist.
Or are you in bad faith trying to equate that with taking people currently alive and executing them, because that is far from the same thing.
How do you feel about NIPT tests and ultrasounds?
