First of all I dont mean to offend anyone. I was thinking you know people who have diabetes or such other genetic disorders (and there are some genetic disorders tht can be fatal) should they be helped to survive by giving the medicines and other such stuff so that they continue to live on or should they just be left to fate. I am asking this question because when such people would have children they will pass that defective gene to them and those children will pass it on to their children and the number just keeps on increasing. So first we had just one person suffering from say diabetes but now we will have hundreds of them and its not just diabetes but there are so many diseases and defective genes that can be passed on. And such people are actually stopping the rest of the humanity from evolving to point where they have no defective genes. And plz I dont mean to hurt anyones feelings.

I believe this is the future and some day people will stop having hurt feelings and realize this would prevent a lot of the suffering in the world.

I think suffering must be prevented through medicine and other modes, not by undermining one person's right to live and build homes. Undermining certain people's rights to live has generated much bloodshed in human history, and we should learn lesson from the past so that our future prevents a lot of suffering in the world.

All of us have genetic defect in one way or the other. So the chance of passing on defective gene is there with all of us, and not just with diabetic or similar people. But to work against such disease the option is not to get into eugenics. But to produce medicine or some sort of that kind so that we overcome them. Every human person is precious; and I would argue that every human being is GIVEN human right, whatever way he or she is diseased.
