Why do people feel that it's cruel for a PWD to have a baby b/c of the risk of the child having a disability?

OK. I suffered 2 strokes @ age 5. People think that if I were to get pregnant & have kids, then I would be considered "cruel" for bringing another disabled child into this world. It's not 100% guaranteed that my kid(s) will come out having strokes, OCD, depression, anxiety, & Tourette's. Am I right?

So, do you feel offended by this? 1 guy here on Y!A told me, "See, this is why people like you shouldn't breed. You need to discontinue your gene pool & get fixed NOW! No child deserves to go through that. We don't need anymore retarded people in this world." He tried to flip it on me, like I'm the 1 being cruel.

I've seen 2 disabled parents have 3 children that most folks consider normal. & I've seen normal people have kids with autism, ADHD, Down's Syndrome, you name it.

This is part of the major taboo that some people from the majority are complaining.

They think that the disabled people should be lessen from the population.

When I discuss with some people about medicaid, they think that medicaid is associated with lazy people. They think that disabled people have an easy life while the normal people are working their butt off. They are SO wrong!

Joke about welfare has protray hard working disabled as being lazy. Welfare in the US - Preamble to the US Constitution.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Some antiwelfare movement believe that welfare should be dismantle. Dismantle what? Dismantle as part of the Preamble of our famous US Constitution? How is getting help from welfare is not GENERAL?

Weren't they were drinking the same water as we are? Our government been paying for the water treatment and facility for our drinking water. Water is cheap! Treatment and facility for water is NOT! If government is paying for your water, it is welfare in my book.

Most disabled people has been discriminated by employer and even their own family.

In UK, there has been TV ads trying to advertise to people that discriminating disabled people is wrong. Does US has that same picture as UK?

And why welfare is easier in UK than US?

If getting a part time job hardly pay for the monthly rent, why are disabled people are labeled as "lazy"?

I believe that normal people are more materialistic and has less empathy toward problems. They watch movie and TV everyday but wouldn't stop to think the reality of their kids or grand-kids to become effected.

New and more common disease and disorder are changing society and society want to do with that? Are they trying to fight against natural disaster by cutting off support?

I mentioned about strongest being the surviving, a replied from a person told me that "that is evolution thinking". Perhap the person is right. It is evolutionist process, it not our body that is changing, it is society. Society want to become more materialistic and they cling on to capitalism as the solution. So as long as their kids and themselve become strong as having no health problem, they are the higher class than people who are less fortunate with health problem.

There is a right and wrong capitalism but when does it when the wrong has alway been rated the worse ever? Sub-prime mortgage, credit card debt, property taxes?

Shouldn't we gone back to the old day age when you can build a log cabin and not get property taxes? Or has the government want to capitalize your property? Yes. Capital. If I am alone in a forest and nobody see me in my log cabin, why would the government label me illegal if I were to do it?

Well... the people need to layoff and leave the disabled people alone. Don't try cutting off support and service for hard working disabled people.

"Grow up! Lazy bum!" - Qouted to me from my high school principal from a society without disability
