Why did forced sterilization happen with disabled people back in the day?

[Anonymous]

Why don’t people want disabled people to reproduce? And is it right to make them get sterilized if they are mentally challenged?

[Anonymous]

honestly, i think it's cruel to the person with the disability to let them live. it really depends on the disability. i'm all for assisted suicide if that's their choice, but if they are too disabled to make that choice then they are probably living in hell.

Because genetic defects disabled them. People didn't want children born who would suffer or have a short life. People should be born smart tough and healthy not so sick they're disabled.

Even if it’s mild?

[DonaldDarko]

Why should anyone be born deformed at all?

[Asker]

Mild intellectual disability isn’t deformed am I right?

[DonaldDarko]

Maybe not by the strictest definition. It's definitely a defect though and the person will suffer.

[Asker]

How will the person suffer?

[DonaldDarko]

They're disabled. They will have a harder time in life.

[Asker]

Why wilk they have a harder time in life?

[DonaldDarko]

Like you said, they have a disability.

[Dargil]

Post some proof of that and I will answer your question.

[jahaims]

5 seconds of common sense and deductive reasoning could answer that for you

[Asker]

It’s because they don’t have the capacity to raise kids right? They don’t understand? How are they going to find a partner? Lol
