    consider that you are aware of yourself prior to conception, but you do not know if you are going to be male/female, black/white, aborted/not aborted etc... ...would you agree with gender discrimination, racial discrimination or abortion if you dont know your own fate?

    it goes to the golden rule. if you dont want to be discriminated against because of something outside of your control, you shouldnt practice that form of discrimination.
