I mean, how would you cope with that, given your attitude towards doing = value?

I'd want a "perfect" (healthy) child because it is good for humanity from a genetic standpoint.
I'd give my kid up for adoption or leave it on the mountains for the wolves or toss it into a government sponsored spike pit or something. I'm a cruel fuck. If I was born deformed, I wouldn't want my parents to "change my diaper" for the rest of my life and society to foot the bill for my disability. This is humane, but this doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
You buy a new CD. You play it and it doesn't sound right regardless of the fact that is whole CD and just came fresh out of the packaging. Do you keep it? Hell no. You throw it away.
...
All of this should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm a reasonable, humane person.
