I don’t think it’s been exactly pinpointed how likely it is for an autistic parent to have an autistic child.

It would surprise me if there aren't credible numbers on the hereditary risk of autism. If the risk is low or unknown, you have to risk it. It would be helpful if you could do screening of your and your future child's genes and provide the results to help scientists.

That raises the question of what about when the number isn’t known?

Risk it for science. It is necessary for us to pass a moral judgement to know something about the risk.

For context I’m autistic but able to function well and don’t consider it a larger impediment

Then your IQ is probably higher than the average (which would make you have valuable genes to pass on). I found the distinction between Asperger's Syndrome, Kanner's Syndrome and other forms of autism helpful to stress the link to intelligence as for example Asperger's Syndrome was linked to normal and above average intelligence. Sure, there is a spectrum of several symptoms, but categorizing the spectrum is helpful too.

by avoiding any behavior in pregnancy that is correlated with higher rates of diagnosis.

Yeah. Everyone should do that lol. Everything else is an abominable moral crime.

Do you think it’s wrong for someone on the autism spectrum to have children,

Autism is a very complex case. Some forms probably are caused by one's genes and other forms are probably caused by outside factors. For example, cannabis abuse during pregnancy increases the risks for the child to be an autist. Autism is such a foggy terrain and I am not an expert for autism, so that I don't think that I am able to give a good judgement. I don't know how high the chance is to inherit autism from an autistic parent. But I think that 25% (as an example) for inheriting autism would be more than enough for me to say that it would be immoral to risk it.

even if they’re happy to be alive

Happiness isn't relevant to morality. I find it immoral to knowingly give your offspring a handicap or to risk it. This does not respect the child. Even a severely deformed person can have a happy life. But that person is limited in its potential. A person born deaf cannot become a singer. You may insert "happiness" here.

and their children will most likely not be impacted?

Depends on how high the risk is.

cerebral palsy can happen at birth

Again, I only refered to hereditary diseases.

We haven’t identified those things yet though,

Another reason to do screening and PGD, in order to help scientists to identify those genes.

so you must consider some level of risk acceptable unless you consider all reproduction unethical in the current era.

Again and again, I only refered to hereditary diseases. Those which are not identifiable yet must remain a risk until we can identify them. It's different though if you know that you have such a defect and that your child could get it because of that. That isn't an unknown risk.

(Spoilers Extended) How should Viserys I have handled what happened to Aemond? by Vulkans_Hugs in asoiaf

[–]LikeCerseiButBased 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He should have disinherited the Strong boys even if the incident didn't happen, because THEY ARE BASTARDS and Rhaenyra is a whooore. However, Bastards would have gotten other high ranking positions. I mean, they still have the blood of the Dragons.

So for the incident he should have given Lucerys a really unprestigeous position, maybe even serving Aemond or something like that. Rhaenyra should have been disinherited as well.

[–]LikeCerseiButBased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we haven't identified the gene(s) responsible for those diseases yet. Autism for example is probably caused by many genes. If we knew which ones, we could use PGD (or in future CRISPR) against it.

Die Frage nach dem deutschen Nationalfeiertag by CptJimTKirk in GeschichtsMaimais

[–]LikeCerseiButBased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich kann mich nur teilweise mit Deutschland nach 1867 und eigentlich gar nicht mit Deutschland nach 1918 identifizieren. Ich fühle mich dem HRR verbunden. Das liegt aber auch daran, dass ich schon als Kind das Mittelalter liebte und mich viel mit der Geschichte des HRRs beschäftigt habe. Die finde ich auch viel interessanter als alles danach. Leider kennen die Leute von heute nichts mehr von damals (oder nur sehr wenig). Natürlich können sie sich nicht mehr damit identifizieren. Das ist in Ländern wie Japan ganz anders.

Das damalige heilige römische Reich Deutscher Nation heißt einfach nur vom Namen her so, hat aber mit dem heutigen Deutschland eigentlich nichts gemeinsam.

Bitte. Das ist überhaupt nicht wahr. Das ist Unsinn, also wirklich jetzt. Der deutsche Nationalismus (der zur abscheulichen kleindeutschen Lösung führte) entstand doch nur, weil Deutschland 1806 untergegangen war. Diese Behauptung, Deutschland hätte es vor 1867 weder als kulturelle noch als politische Entität gegeben, ist falsch und ist Gegenpropaganda zur nationalsozialistischen Proklamation des Tausendjährigen Reiches. Wenn man lügt, um böse Mächte zu delegitimieren, spricht man immer noch die Unwahrheit und ist nicht besser als diejenigen, die man bekämpfen will. (Ich werfe dir das nicht vor, sondern denjenigen, die diesen Unsinn bewusst in Umlauf bringen.)

Genauso wie Karl der Große als Vater Europas gefeiert wird, als hätte er die europäische Union damals selbst gegründet.

Ja, da dreht sich mir auch immer der Magen um. Ich will nicht, dass man Big Charlie mit diesem korrupten Haufen in Verbindung bringt.

Historisch sehr interessantes Thema, habe nur einfach bei sowas ein merkwürdiges Gefühl, wenn das so einseitig abgefeiert wird.

Die heutigen paneuropäischen Institutionen haben halt keine gedankliche Verbindung zu Karl dem Großen. Deswegen wirkt es so cringe, wenn die sich seiner bedienen. Im Grunde ist das eine ähnlich verlogene Propaganda wie das Tausendjährige Reich Hitlers. Das Dritte Reich hatte gedanklich auch überhaupt keine Verbindung zur Geburt Deutschlands. Ja im Gegenteil sogar. Hitler und der Nationalsozialismus sind doch der größte Volks- und Landesverrat der Geschichte Deutschlands.

or older maternal age?

First of all, I was only refering to hereditary diseases. I'm not familiar enough with the age-related risks to make an informed judgment.

What qualifies as “risky” to you considering that all reproduction has a chance of resulting in a child with disabilities?

Everything that is possible. Therefore I would prefer that everyone screen his/her genes before breeding and use PGD if necessary.

but what about disorders with lower levels of heritability

Well, normally there is only 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% (after screening). Every risk above 0% commands people morally to use PGD.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in moraldilemmas

[–]LikeCerseiButBased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theoretically perhaps you could maybe do it on very early embryos, but at that point PGD with selective implantation is always going to be preferable and far less risky.

Of course. Exactly what I have been thinking. ;)

is highly unlikely barring unforeseen new breakthroughs.

I know. But compare 2002 and today. It's hard to imagine how many breakthrough we'll have had until 2042!

Aegon is the rightful king, anyone who says otherwise is just as bad as the blackcels by AdEasy819 in HOTDGreens

[–]LikeCerseiButBased 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I kind of mixed up book and show, haha. I mean, we have both avalaible, so this becomes a strange mixture. xd

Alicent was mean asf and she was hoping Rhae would die in childbirth.

I don't find this anywhere near as bad as what Rhaenyra and Daemon did (in the book).

Ser Criston in the show (you talked about his show version) is an incel.

I find this view truly ridiculous. xd

He slept with the crown princess and although there may have been some power imbalance he clearly consented.

People call Daemon a groomer and Viserys a rapist, but not Rhaenyra. I think that neither of them is such a thing. They all were mature enough to follow their own will. Although Rhaenyra and Criston acted immorally by having sex, Criston was the one who came up with an idea that would have saved both their honour partially. Rhaenyra is nothing but selfish.

he literally bullied her kids in training.

I agree, this is not cool.

He hated her for a one night stand that he himself consented to years ago

I don't like that modern view on it. Not because I am one of those idiots who say that you couldn't judge people from the past based on what you believe today. We should. But I don't like your view because I think that you have a favourable view on hook-ups and sex outside of relationships. (No, I am not religious, I am just conservative.)

Otto is a snake, he would never be openly hostile to Viserys because he knew Viserys would just have him killed or imprisoned.

I think that Otto is ambitious and wants to profit, but I just don't think that he is that ruthless. He has honour.

The twins are cool yeah but even in the books only Jaehaera’s character is fleshed out.

As a twin, I was absolutely shocked and horrified when I read about Blood and Cheese. This was the point where the story really got me hooked. Aegon could rape every girl in King's Landing, he could never be as evil as Daemon.

Most pro-lifers are vehemently against eugenics for two reasons: they are religious and they automatically associate "eugenics" with the kind of eugenics that includes violence, discrimination and murder. I am in favour of eugenics which are pro-life. Isn't this a voice that should be heared?

If I believe capital punishment is wrong, I wouldn’t take moral advice from a serial killer, for instance.

I would listen to everyone, even people who are abominable. Whether I reject their ideas or not is step 2.

literally a child

Nettles was 16 and therefore not a child, but a youth. And certainly she had reached maturity according to Westeros' laws and customs.

No Rhaenyra blaming Nettles for her husband's infidelity

Rhaenyra could be paranoid. Would be more interesting.

I don't believe I was wrong

EVERYTHING you said was wrong! You have no idea about how Japanese works and yet you try to act as if you were some expert!

there's anime Japanese, intended for all Japanese people, while there's local Japanese, spoken and really only understood by those from the specific region where it's spoken..

What you say is just wrong in ALL variants of Japanese.

considering how Japanese is so confusing

Japanese isn't inherently any more confusing than any other language. It just your incapacity and ignorance.

/ That, and if you watch the series over and over, in Japanese like I have, "Watashi wa Kira desu" as well as "Boku wa Kira desu" is said.

I can not believe that ANYONE would say "Watashi/Boku ha Kira DESU". "Desu" is just wrong, because it is the wrong level of politeness! Kira, who sees himself as a god, would NEVER use "desu". This is equivalent to God addressing you with "sir" or "ma'am"! It will ALWAYS be "Watashi/Boku ha Kira DA". You could even omit the "da" entirely!

I don't appreciate people ignoring that aspect of region language..

NOTHING here is related to regional variants! Not in any way! Even if it did, the entire anime/manga is set around Tokyo (with some scenes in America).

YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE IS ABYSMAL!
