A manic depressive is an individual. So is a depressive or any other person like that.
They're not illnesses.
But if we think of them as illnesses then it's ok to make them extinct.
What I mean is seeking to end the existence of the mentally ill using genetic techniques. This was something Hitler hoped would end the schizophrenics forever. He wanted them castrated enmasse. The purpose was to seek their extinction.
What I mean is early intervention in case a person becomes a schizophrenic or perhaps a manic depressive.
What I mean is hacking into people's brains to change their behaviour, emotions or personality. Neurosurgery for mental disorder or psychosurgery is what I am talking about.
These treatments could be applied to homosexuals (of course that isn't an illness but it used to be).
Could, perhaps, society extent its arms of norms wider to changr other things and make them not mental illnesses...or will it continue to enforce norms using the paradigm of illness but really all it will do is make types of people extinct like animal hunters after zebra?
