        Didn’t say that I did. But most folks with it know how awful and don’t wish it on their children. Tell me, how many folks have you worked with who have/had HD?

        I’m not speaking out my arse here.

        Let me be clear, I think that the including of HD in this list is to muddy the waters. This is not a genuine concern.

        This is about control and eugenics.

      Yeah, I paused on that one. It shouldn’t be forced, but it should be encouraged. No loving parent would want to give that to a child and the odds are just so high.
