e: as to this topic, well first of all article has no sources, which bugs me. Secondly, the main ethical problem in question is the risk of complications. I'm no expert, but i have a sensation that chances of said things occurring are not unsubstantial.


ok here, lets look at all the complications that can occur in normal child birth and how it effects the child growing up, some children never even get to see their first birthday before dying, what they are doing here is allowing a child who would otherwise not even experience LIFE a CHANCE to grow up and become self sufficient and so forth, if this what you would call a defect compared to natural occuring complications? im trusting that many parents would love their "complicated" children just as much as a normal child... all pregnancies come with possible complications...

many parents would love their 'complicated' children, no question... but the amount of 'complicated' children that would love their lives is noticeably less, depending on the severity of the complication as well.

and what are you talking about, an inexistent child is not a child in there somewhere; said child doesnt even exist, nothing is lost, nor won.
