Is Christianity the only reason infanticide is taboo? Non-Christian societies practiced it all the time
>>
>>18517445
No, Christians historically have no qualms with killing non-Christian or "heretical" children and babies.

>>18517445
Christians committed infanticide all the time until the 19th century. It wasn't legal and wasn't publicly celebrated, but it happened whenever it was convenient and went completely unpunished. The idea of normies strictly adhering to religious morality was basically invented by the Anglo-American middle class in the 1850s.

The topic of eugenics always baffled me, and sometime in my teen years I quickly learned to just bury my opinions because it's extremely politically loaded. People already practice eugenics in mate selection, and if you think castrating retards or other undesirables and selecting for an ideal mate are fundamentally different, I don't think you're worth talking to. I don't want white people practicing abortion except in extreme cases, but if black people want it, like they already do, go ahead, I won't intervene.

How can you be both pro-eugenics and pro-life? Any eugenics program is going to require reinstating Roe v. Wade by necessity.

Yes but it was condemned socially and therefore kept under wraps. Meanwhile non-Christian societies just didn't give a shit. See also: China

Is op’s pic fake? If it isn’t I’m disappointed in asmongold. He’s basically saying that if you were born with down’s syndrome you don’t deserve to live. Fucking prick.

Sikhs have always expressly forbidden infanticide, including the killing of infant girls, which was common in that part of the world.
>>
Yeah early Christians were famous for their condemnation of infant exposure, which the pagans didn't care about, rescuing and raising these perfectly normal children to be Christians.

It's likely one reason for their survival was they had a better demographic balance between the sexes, on account of saving abandoned girls from certain death.

The funny thing about that is I know downies who are legitimately better people and contribute more real shit to society than him. He sits on a computer entertaining and demoralizing dipshit zoomers and it's suspected his views are botted. He's in this sense, controlled.

I hope one of the less well behaved downies finds this decrepit physical and moral waste and makes him finally eat his words.
He's had so many better opportunities, health, money, than most downies it puts his own personal failures in sharp contrast. He's really a despicable freak once you listen to him long enough to hear the mask slip.

Damn, I didn't realize Zach was eugenicist like that.

I can't think of anything more evil than socially pressuring young parents into keeping theire retarded down syndrome kid, who will never create a legacy, never live an independent life, will always be a burden and is going to probably publically harass and bother other normal people, if not constantly monitored. Like what the fuck? These parents could have had normal children and you want them to spend the rest of their lives in service of a retard?

Christians like that are incredibly fucking evil.

Adoption?

It's not fundamentally different but it's practically different in the same way dogs practice eugenics in mating versus humans selectively breeding dogs to do certain things. Given how many dog breeds are totally fucked up because of humans prioritizing certain traits to the exclusion of others, the caution is sensible.

Arguably Jews have practiced eugenics among themselves that has resulted in a higher IQ but also a proliferation of severe congenital defects. To the point there are specific Jewish genetic mutations that increase cancer risk.

Jews and Mussies scriptures also does not allow infanticide.
Eastern religion is not welcome on someone else deciding on a kid's life.

Why is it always the sub-humans that are the most pro-eugenic? This retard would be the first in the line into the oven if we tried eugenics.

There was nothing wrong with infant exposure, it weeded out those who were puny and deformed.

Iceland has essentially wiped out Downs Syndrome. It uses amniocentesis and abortion to do it but it works.

>Christians committed infanticide all the time until the 19th century.
I would broaden this to all people. It has always happened, whether legally or not.

>but it happened whenever it was convenient and went completely unpunished.
If it was illegal, a person could be severely punished for committed what was legally a murder. Even now people are charged with double homicide for killing a pregnant woman. The main determinant was whether they were caught, as well as how rigorous law and order were maintained and what the burden of proof was legally at the time and place where the abortion happened. But the act of abortion was regarded and treated as a murder in conventionally Christian societies.
