You didn't build your computer and phone from scratch
So you're dependent. Checkmate atheists
It's pretty impressive honestly
granded the GPU i bought, cuz fuck that
the rest is part by part made 😄
Pretty much everything you use was "set up for you"
Yeah? You built a CPU by hand m8?
fine, i bought the CPU too
You bought all the parts and then put then together
Someone set up the parts
not this pc itself though, i made one for a school project
Someone built your house, your fridge
I mean you could keep disabled people alive and let them decide later with assisted suicide.
Someone "set" these things "up" for you
and i paid them for it
Yes
So can a disabled person
i'd love to see a self-made succesful disabled person
and i'm not talking about one where his start was paid for
There simply is no reason why i as a parent shouldn't be allowed to abort my child because of a debilitating illness
Hold on, why would it matter if they had help with their startup? Non disabled people do as well
thats the difference
That's not always true
in what way?
In that not everyone has the capital or capacity to start up a business, the talent to sustain themselves through the arts etc
yes, so they can get a regular job to save up capital
a fully immobile person can't just get a job anywhere
No, but they can find work, and they're a tiny minority
It's not like we have legions of quadriplegics

nice
thats no metric though,
Theres no legions of ME either, so we should do everything to keep me alive at all costs
Theres no legions of terrorists waiting to enter, so lets just let a few in 😉
You're falling into a false dichotomy
no im not
It isn't "we have to pay for everything" or "we ought to abort them"
Yes you are
i'm saying that "we have just a few" is no reason why they should then be sustained at all cost
It's not "doing everything to keep them alive", I'm contesting the idea that they *should* in your words, be aborted
Lets make it simple then, if they can survive on their own, they can live
You don't know that until they do or dont
if i put the fetus out of the womb, and it survives, it can live 😉
