How about we get rid of everyone who isn't blond haired and blue eyed? We could abort everyone who isn't genetically perfect, fitting a narrow definition of perfection according to societal norms.
After all, nobody with Downs has ever had a productive or happy life...
Would those in favour of selective abortion also be in favour of the sterilization of those with mental illness?
