I dunno, I'm pretty much unaffected when children die. They (overall) knew a very happy existence, no responsibilities, no real pain or love, no true disappointments (not getting Hungry Hungry Hippos for Christmas hardly counts as true disappointment)... the list goes on and on.
They (again, overall) only know the happiness of their childhood, the comfort of a parent or parents. They have no real concept of love yet. The only concept of love they have is the natural feeling of closeness a child feels to his or her guardians. They have no true friends, no relationships- no girlfriends or boyfriends, no husbands or wives...
They will never know the pain of losing their parents, losing their siblings, friends, or significant others. They are fortunate, in that respect.
Those who know none of the pleasantries i've listed above could possibly be all more the lucky- they'll no longer have to experience what should otherwise be the most care-free point in the existence. Plus, they still don't have the pain of losing those they care for, one by one, as they get older.
And don't ask about how i'll feel as a parent, i'm never having children.
