Part 2: if you were the parent, would you feel it would be ethical to keep them alive?
I have none of that, and still don’t want to live.

Modern youths don’t want anything except for computer games and labooboos or whatever. In my times we… (snoring)
Fair, understandable, relatable.
exactly my thoughts
A big Yes.
A good friend of mine has a disease that gradually makes all his muscles useless, more and more over time. Currently he can only move his head a little. Arms and legs no more. He is in a wheelchair, and he also needs assistance there with every motion. Talking has already started to get a little bad. There is no cure. He loves and enjoys life.
The blind and deaf combo sounds hard though, not sure what’s left to enjoy.
I would be trapped in my already overwhelming flood of ADHD brain activity. It would not be living for me, just suffering.
If it was my child then the ethical thing is respecting their choice on whether they want to live at whatever point in their life.
If it was possible to diagnose before birth then abortion would be ethical.
If this fucking world would take care of disabled people instead of fucking throwing them on the street and letting them die slowly or be slaves in the industrial prison complex then yeah. There would be great things if things was made to be accessible which is completely something we could do but we don’t because eugenics.
No thanks
I don’t trust the able to decide what level of disability makes one’s life not worth living.
No.
And no, it would be extremely unethical to put a child on this world that would suffer that much. Have some compassion, mum!
“Do you want to live?” is a question where an answer is independent of external* factors and it comes from within.
Still I would propably want to live.
*but it can get complicated
Fuck no! And I’d do my best to put that child to “rest”… or, would’ve said: “No.” to life sustaining treatments early on.

Well, if it were mine and under life altering circumstances… Yes.
The baby would be saved from a life of endless suffering. That’s the ethical choice in my book.
So yes, BabySaver.
“Fellas, if you were born with Mechamaru Poop Body and could enjoy nothing, would you still want to exist?”
For context, this account on IG is a mother to one. I personally think it would be extremely difficult to believe any amount of care would give this child a decent quality of life.
No. Loss of vision alone would be enough.
Nope.
20 is an adult and it’s not the parents’ choice, if the kid is competent to choose, and none of this sounds like he isn’t. My personal end of life instructions will say no feeding tube, I would rather go ahead and starve if that sick, but I am a lot older than 20.
I will say that this is close to my idea of a baseline of existence and why I feel like most of us should feel like we are doing pretty well, physically.
I would be a completely different person, so how should I know?
I would fly to some European country for euthanasia. My mom would keep me alive against my will just to be “sentimonious awesome in.”
