I was not trying to implement a strange voluntary option. I was giving a hypothetical to make it apparent how egregious immigration restrictions are in terms of their harm. The argument was comparing how extreme the violation of birth restrictions is and comparing it to restrictions on immigration which could have extreme downsides. As I say in the article, I was against closed borders and restrictions on birth unless extreme circumstances (brother-sister marriage type situation). The reductio was supposed to push the reader toward supporting open borders. However, I think my willingness to make a socially undesirable comparison between two rights was used against me.
I wrote that article years ago and it’s hardly relevant to whether or not my other article is true and moral. This sort of reasoning and argumentation style should be rejected outright. I think this person is just trying to throw mud on my reputation so people try to censor me. Quite unvirtuous in my view.
I found the original quote and pointed out you were being misquoted. That seems the relevant update here, over the specific words I used to describe that.
I wrote about why I think the original post was bad on the post, but in short, it is long and seems to imply doing genetics work that is banned/disapproved of in the West in poor countries. You seem to say that’s an error on my part, in which case, please title it differently and make clearer what you are suggesting.
I think the title is accurate and the content of my article is clear that I am not suggesting violating anyone’s consent or the law. Did you read the article? I don’t see how you draw these conclusions from the title alone or how the title is misleading. I gave policy recommendations which mostly involved funding research.

Also why is my original post bad?

That’s fine. I was adding more clarity.
