Oh? Really? I can remember more than a few conversations with childhood chums in
which we had decided it would definitely have been a very good thing if we had
been killed (or aborted) as little kids.
(You see, we were quite depressed and upset at those times, and wished that we
could have our existence ended.)
The reason we don't kill kids is because we're biologically wired to make
infanticide a taboo.
(Except for Chinese Communists, who everyone knows eat their young.)
