A few years ago there was a feature story in the Pennsylvania Dairyman Newspaper about a Central Pennsylvania farmer whose Down Syndrome son managed the dairy herd. He was superb.
He knew each cow and how it was feeling that day. Milk production was excellent.
That’s a lovely story. A happy son having meaning and purpose, and happy cows too.
Do these terminators not realize that by eliminating human “hassles”, they cut themselves and the rest of humanity off from proper character and spiritual development? Opportunities to receive, learn and provide grace, patience, kindness, and love is destroyed. Blessings thought to be curses are thrown out with the trash.
Is the intentional reduction of imperfect humans the reason that these folks have moved on to other imperfect targets, like people with wrong political thoughts?
How much additional stress is then heaped on families who welcome a baby with extra needs, knowing that many others are increasingly offended by the very existence of their child?
Rotten fruit of the culture of convenience is all around.
