Livia’s prolly just some sicko who derives worth from treating Banjo. There’s a lot of people (mostly women) who end up like that.
Posh is a fluffy. She knows her babbeh is in pain but not the severity. He can’t communicate it to her. To her it’s just a big booboo but with enough love it’ll get better.
Undoubtedly. They are your parents.
There is quite plentiful historical & philosophical reasons as to why death is considered an absolute - I do believe we discussed the subject of pneumatics in relation to Pikuach Nefesh, at an earlier point - but the right-wing lot that use this as a way to, for example, propagandise against public healthcare & birth control seem decidedly inconsistent.
Not to mention that modern medicine is a source of potential nightmares as well as hope, or that there is a point were human rights become animal rights, instead. Henriette Lacks, the immortal woman, is an example of both.
But I do find the general idea of a group willing to die for the right to suicide a little bit funny 
So Livia is a Psychopath and Posh is just as dumb common fluffy. Boy i feel bad for Banjo, not a decent person around him.
i remember that one. I was against it not because of anything to do with the individual in question, but because it was a slope that could become very slippery very quickly. for example, there is an ongoing problem in Spain with women who have even as little as a moderate learning disability being sterilized under deception. this article contains a brutally amusing anecdote from a woman whose parents told her that she could never adequately care for children, later depending on that exact woman to take care of them in their poor health at the end of their aging lives. they had her sterilized without consent and have largely separated her from her would-be husband. for her own good, of course. because she can’t take care of herself or anyone else (except them).
That eugenics shit is still going on? Excuse me. I need two paella pans, and a trip to visit the Spanish health minister.
It is not eugenics if it is done on an individual basis 
If anything, this seem to require more government control.
If it’s focused specifically on a marginalised group of people, and happens with any regularity, it’s eugenics.
I do not think those qualifiers are needed 
The root problem here is that the group in question is vulnerable, & the legislation that should protect them is not enforced.
In my fatherland, I, personally, have seen the developmentally challenged used for free hard labour. That is not eugenics, actually, but is still morally reprehensible.
No, it’s not eugenics. But if they were being sterilised wholemeal, it would be. There are many, many ways to abuse and torment marginalised people.
Would you fucking nerds stay off my comment section when I make the Hasbio trans pride post where the stallions are bio-engineered to give birth
Probably not. But I really want to read that. Hasbio would engineer Pride Fluffs.
(I can only imagine what they’d do during Jewish American Heritage Month. Come June, the clearance pens would be full of blue and white foals with little peyot and snipped tips, all asking for noshies and bubbehs and kosher kibble, and screeching, “Oy vavoy, nu wan’ ovens!” You know the executive officers don’t know a damn thing beyond stereotypes.)
Oh they already engineered pride fluffs. That’s what I was referencing.
That comment section is AFTER mods got done with it
Yup, that’s a good one! I was wondering if Hasbio would engineer “trans” fluffs next, though. It’s the sort of thing they’d do.
Imma go reread that story.
The sheer level of acrimony required for that debacle to recur is not, at present, present.
Knock wood.
BTW, have you seen Simon? It’s an early '80s SF movie about a man who’s convinced he’s an alien. Stars Alan Arkin and a whole bunch of other brilliant players. I ask because there’s a scene almost identical to the aversion therapy the pride fluffs got, but involving roaches. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend watching. It’s a quirky little film. Besides, who doesn’t love Austin Pendleton and Wally Shawn?
I’ve come up with a theory: Livia was planning to burn Banjo for a while, but she was originally gonna wait until he was older. The chimichanga incident was basically a speedrun. Adding to that, Livia is currently plotting to do the same thing to Posh. As for the motive, Livia McPsychocunt wanted to make an immortal fluffy. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
