“Mothers want extraversion over conscientiousness or intelligence for their children.” - Abstract @sciencedirect.com
via The Drive for Perfect Children Gets a Little Scary:
Upon reflection, maybe that isn’t so surprising, because parents presumably want children who are fun to spend time with.also Eugenics and Equality Can't Mix: Aborting babies with detected disabilities is incompatible with equality.
...
It’s also not difficult to imagine parents wanting children who are relatively well-behaved. The same research paper found that mothers, after extroversion, preferred the trait of “agreeableness” in their children, again over both intelligence and conscientiousness.
When we do everything in our power to detect the existence of a baby with a special need with the sole purpose of terminating him or her, we create a discriminatory culture, where only perfect humans may apply for entrance. This is a powerful obstacle against equality and acceptance of the disabled, which a just society must set as its first goal.вот такая логика
