The problem though is that this is no where near a perfect world and not every expectant parent looks at a child as a gift. Some look at it as a great burden, a curse, etc.....
This is probably going to sound harsh, but if in a less than perfect world, you (univeral you) cannot accept a less than perfect child, then maybe you (again universal) rethink your decision to parent. Every child is going to disappoint their parent in some way at some time. You just don't decide to kill your child because they are less than perfect or a burden or a curse. What about the child that becomes handicap after they are born? Are you released of responsbility because it becomes to hard? How do you make that decision?
