I used to feel this was a tragedy. Now I feel that those parents aren’t intelligent enough to have children. They deserve what they got. The child died but it was probably going to of something else stupid at some point anyway. A century ago, before we had all the modern medical procedures, a large percentage of children didn’t make it to adulthood. That is going to be the new norm for the parents who know better than “the elites”.
Be careful. “Stupid people shouldn’t procreate” sounds like a good idea until the state deems you too stupid to deserve life. That’s eugenics. And it never stops with the people you think deserve it.
I’m not saying this child died due to eugenics. I’m saying that calling situations like this fine because the parents “deserve it” for being stupid is eugenicist thinking. It is justifying the child’s death because the parents are stupid and shouldn’t procreate anyway. Why not? Inferior genetics?
The child deserved to live in a world where even with stupid parents, they get adequate modern healthcare and can thrive. Instead they died, and that’s horrible, and saying “it’s fine because the parents were stupid” is horrible.

On the other hand, some supposedly intelligent people are so doubtful of the world that they become hesitant at bringing a child in.
“I’m gonna fuck all y’all!”

Its not eugenics it’s just a reversion to natural pressures. Eugenics would imply that there is an artificial pressure causing the deaths.
The fact is most of us would likely not be here if not for modern medicine.

That means stupid people would have to run the State and make those rules.
Well, shit…
