Finally, I would like to propose two scenarios. Woman A gets pregnant at age 18, accidentally, but her religion forbids abortion. She drops out of school and raises a child whom she resents. Woman B gets pregnant at age 18, but realizes that she is in no position to raise a child. She aborts it and waits until she's thirty to raise a child in a loving environment.
Which child is better off?

I'm not quite sure how it's like to be aborted, or to be dead, so it's a bit hard to tell.

Let's try this. When do you feel a human being is created, Yorick? At what precise moment? When sperm meets egg?

We don't really know for sure when it is, do we? I'd say we may just as well not kill off what may be human beings then.
