And the unborn MAY have within its head the proper sequence of synapses and just the right brain chemistry required to figure out cold fusion at the age of 12. Might, and should have and could have are hardly valid arguments.
That same child could also become a second Hitler. So you're right, it's a moot argument but you asked a what if question pertaining benefits to society.

And the earth is hardly overpopulated. Another myth created to excuse the killing of humans for no better reason than convenience.
What is your definition of overpopulated? In the Western world at too rapid rates, obviously China and India are catching up as they are industrialised. I'm sure you're well aware of the statistics which tells us just how many "earths" we need to sustain a typical American/European life style. Unless we do something about how much we consume, I'll maintain my stance.


War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is strength
Harness the power of Ingsoc, then you can capture someone killed the year before
