Policing other people's possible genetic disorders sounds a bit like eugenics. Should we also make it illegal for autistic people to breed?

My intent was to answer your question "who cares" question. Now it I see that you care.

People should care about laws that are and are not imposed on others, especially if they are in a position to voice support or opposition to those laws.

So we would also conclude abortion bans are eugenics then? I mean fine be free to fuck your cousin, if we agree on the government having no place in our bedrooms. But surely sex crimes should be prosecuted then.. as this bill also wants to provide leniency to those offenses down to age 12...
