I couldn't disagree more. I think people are supposed to be selfish, in the objectivist people should act in accordance to their own viewpoints, ideals, desires sort of way. Unless they go screwing that up for others, of course.
I would definitely try to raise the kid. I don't have a lot of experience about such things, but I'd try my best. My main motivation would be the saving of a human life, but I guess company and help would be advantages too. I figure that sort of thing would sort of grant you a friend for life.
