This is not a pill of honor...

It's definitely possible to establish reasonable thresholds - you could draw parallels to abuse/neglect laws. There are things that many people may find grotesque and objectionable that aren't considered abuse/neglect. There are definitely historical and modern examples of those laws being applied unfairly, particularly to the disadvantaged. Boundaries may flex across regions or cultures, But it's fair to say society as a whole supports abuse/neglect laws, and that they're generally beneficial for children.

I’d rather see better detection and genetic therapies, myself. Inform the parents and let them come to their own conclusion about whether or not to have children.

A perfectly reasonable take, but even that falls in-scope of eugenics.

My brother in christ, the conversation is explicitly about eugenics, I don't need to see shit!

You know what? I think letting racists ruin eugenics gives them one extra "fuck you" to the human race.

If I use a revolver to play Russian roulette with a baby, they'd bury me under the prison. Why is it fine for parents with documented genetic conditions to do the same?

This happens sometimes in markets where production outstrips demand, but production is inflexible to slow down. Notable examples in the US are electricity prices that will sometimes spike negative during peak renewable generation, or crude oil right at the start of COVID lock downs.

Yeah, your 15- year-old device is slow, but let's see how slow it is with windows 11 installed
