Meh, I'm autistic, which is partly caused by genetics and can be passed down, I'm also very short sighted and Alzheimer's runs in my family.

I still very much enjoy my life, but I'd be hesitant about having biological children. Not because my life isn't worth living, but because life is just so much easier to live without my conditions.

Not like I need to pass down my genes... Adopting is very much an option if I ever want a kid.

Following on. If intelligent lifeforms existed on other planets how would you reconcile that with the abrahamic belief that God created the universe for us humans and that we are his final creation?

What if other intelligent life forms look completely and absolutely different from us (or indeed any life on earth). Would they still be made in God's image, while we aren't or would they be inferior to us, because they don't match God's image like we do? Would they be inferior even if their species has existed for way longer than ours, or was a lot more intelligent?
