The greater evil would be to allow a child to suffer and inflict suffering on the rest of the world when another child without that illness could be made a year later. People with mental illness inflict endless harm on the world around them far more than they cause good. Some of you may say that the child with mental illness might one day do some great good, but for every child with mental illness that does any good, the other children with mental illness inflict horrible pain on the rest of the world around them. Far more than any good child could ever hope to make up for. You may think me cold hearted to have an outlook like this, but I think the people who don't do this are the monsters. You knowingly unleash monsters on the world knowing how horrible they are likely to turn out. The monsters aren't the cold hearted who would sacrifice something to stop suffering, but the ones who would sacrifice nothing and lose everything. |
This is a great view on the topic, and I agree completely. We need to collectively realize that emotions impair our judgements, and we should think rationally about important life decisions such as this one.
