People with inheritable diseases shouldn't be allowed to have children.

I. Unalienable RightsTo start off my arguments, I'd like to quote The Declaration of Independence in order to prove a point. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." [1] Now, let's look at the definitions of liberty and happiness, just to emphasise this more. Liberty - the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. [2] In other words, forcing those with diseases to not procreate infringes on their liberty. P1: The Declaration of Independence says that all men are created equal and have certain unalienable rights, one of these being liberty.P2: Forcing those with diseases to not procreate goes against the definition of liberty, as it's an oppressive restriction imposed by authority on one's life/behavior.C1: Therefore, it infringes on their unalienable rights.C2: Therefore, those with inheritable diseases should be allowed to have children. Now let's look at happiness. Happiness - the state of being happy. [3]There is no doubt that children can bring immense amounts of happiness to a person. Even though people with inheritable diseases can adopt a child, why should be denied the right to go ahead with it biologically? II. Human RightsThis does relate back to our unalienable rights, but this time, we're going to look at our 30 Basic Human Rights protected by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In fact, this proposed ban goes against three of them. Here they are: "1. We are all free and equal. We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way. "2. Don’t discriminate. These rights belong to everybody, whatever our differences. "30. Nobody can take away these rights and freedoms from us." [4]I've already touched on number 1 and 30 in the last point made, but I really want to talk about number 2. To understand what discrimination really is, I'll provide another one of those handy definitions.Discrimination - the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people. [5]Unsurprisingly, the proposed ban hits every part the definition describes. Not allowing people with inheritable diseases to reproduce is technically unfair treatment, so, in turn, they're treated differently than "able-bodied" people. III. Enforcing The BanLet's just pretend right now that America passed a law saying that those who have inheritable diseases can't have biological children. However, I'd like to ask how you'd enforce this. Now let's look at statistics. In terms of mental disorders, one in four people in the world will suffer from a mental illness in their life. [6] (Ex. Depression, Bipolar, OCD, Schizophrenia, etc.) In 2012, about half of adults suffered from a chronic disease, [7] and genes are proven to be a part of that. [8] Lastly, more than half of people will contract an STD/STI in their lifetime. [9] Now let me quote my opponent from his previous arguments. "This is only yet another reason to discourage, and even outlaw, sexual intercourse between people with inheritable diseases." So riddle me this; how would you make sure that all of these people would never have sex? For one, the government shouldn't enforce what two (or more) consenting adults do in the bedroom. That is incredibly invasive and can be uncomfortable for the parties involved. Secondly, how would one find proof that they were having sexual intercourse? What about gay people? Would they face this restriction too? What punishment would they face? What if they were undiagnosed/untreated for say mental, physical, or sexual illness? This raises too many complicated questions. ConclusionIn conclusion, sexual intercourse/procreation between people with inheritable diseases shouldn't be a punishable crime. After all, it violates human rights and it'd be much to difficult to enforce. Thank you.
