Seems like you're kinda twisting it. I'm opposed to both methods (selective breeding to promote disability and invasive measures to promote disability) because I give the unborn child some consideration. Both are perverse and nothing changes that. 

I don't think I am the one twisting things as I am not the one saying that cutting open someone and mutilating a fetus is the same as choosing to only reproduce with deaf people. I know you're only focused on the outcome because there is no other similarity, but we're discussing what supposed rights a woman has and how that supersedes any supposed right a fetus has in her body. If one scenario only involves sperm and ova, there's no link unless we're arguing sperm and ova have human rights.

Quote:Your last line has absolutely nothing to do with the issue being discussed, but it reads nice.  

I completely disagree. That's the counter claim to "a woman's ownership of her body". In the case of selective breeding, only sperm and ova are involved, not a fetus, so it fails to serve as a good argument in support of the counter claim.
