Education Sacrifices
I have cystic fibrosis. Before I was born, my life could be judged too burdensome to begin. At 13, I was taught in a classroom that ending it would've been compassionate. I survived anyway — and later had to fight the government just to prove how much that same illness had cost me. I've been writing about what that contradiction actually means: eugenics history, Peter Singer's replaceability argument, the countries where euthanasia has already been extended to children, and the CF pregnancies ended in Australia every year that nobody counts. Some of you won't agree with every conclusion I land on. That's fine. I just think it's worth sitting with.
