Lisa, I'm interested as to the Childfree couples whom you've polled to come up with the assertion that it would be easy to say "only children of X quality should be born"? Because they surely weren't representative of the CF people I know. Indeed it sounds somewhat of a generalisation.
With the subject of existing children needing love - I don't understand how parents can just abandon their children either. You know, the parents who just fall pregnant at the drop of a hat, possibly with various fathers, then decide to abdicate themselves from taking responsibility for their offspring. That to me is the worst.
I know people who are undergoing IVF and part of it is that they see other couples falling pregnant easily (especially those who aren't good parents) and they just want the chance to experience pregnancy. For some of them, it's also that they want to pass on their genes.
