So, tell me, how do we decide who is appropriate parent material? Mental health tests? Physical health? Certainly we're going to require financial stability. What else?
Forced sterilization of people who don't meet the requirements? Or just mandated abortion? |
There are way too many people that have babies even though they're not ready to have a baby and shouldn't be getting pregnant. Teen moms, got pregnant by mistake, mom with mental health issues... many of these babies end up being put in the system when they're born.
Even in the frum world there are plenty of kids that are not ready to get married and have a baby but they're practically forced to do so.

What's the "refrigerator theory of autism"? Haven't heard that term.

Its long-since discredited. The theory is that autism was caused by cold, uncaring mothers (hence, refrigerator) who did not allow their children to bond properly. Its most closely associated with Bruno Bettelheim.

Isn't that the one based off the Romanian Orphans who often displayed classic extreme symptoms of nonverbal autism like head-banging or rocking.
I remember reading some of these studies a while back.
