guncles and launts serve the valuable function of demonstrating to their nieces and nephews how much easier being a DINK is, and how they should be impressed by their parent's sacrifices

It depends, it is morally neutral if the ceo of exxonmobil is a child because the two acts cancel each other out. It is morally good if the ceo of exxonmobil is a normal human because they are just a useless eater and the child was going to take their place anyway. The only way it is morally wrong is if the ceo of exxonmobil is giving birth while getting run over since the child being born didn't consent to getting run over by a drunk driver.

do you think that the person carrying the child should also have the right to deny any vaccines given to them during this period?
