    It is not the case that Preferring B over A based on projected quality-of-life gaps, however minimal, still treats disability as a welfare-relevant criterion rather than a morally irrelevant trait.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.All reproductive choices involve welfare criteria; disability's genuine health impacts make it relevantly different from race or sex.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Distinguishing between disability itself and social accommodation allows preference for lower-impact conditions without endorsing discrimination.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Treating something as morally irrelevant requires denying measurable differences; some disabilities do affect welfare independent of stigma.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Morally irrelevant traits should never factor into decisions, even marginally. Using disability as a tiebreaker violates this principle.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Accepting minimal disability-based preferences creates a slope toward stronger eugenic reasoning without principled stopping point.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Quality-of-life projections embed societal biases about disability rather than measuring objective welfare differences.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
