Passing shallow moral judgment on the reproductive decisions of disabled/sick people is very dehumanizing

Acting solely on primal instincts is dehumanizing.

It's not hard to see how your standing would enable a more extreme view arguing that people with Li Fraumeni Syndrome should be sterilized.

If i knowingly gave someone HPV, leading to cancer, nobody would dare to bring up eugenics, and my right to reproductive freedom. How is giving cancer to a stranger different from giving cancer to my kids?
