That is uncertain. Ask robvalue about that if needed. If they had chosen an abortion, the fetus would not now be regretting anything in the decision.
(That, by the way, is not a suggestion that they ought to have gotten one. It is just a matter of fact about the outcome.)
You are correct, it is uncertain. Everyone else I have met who has been adopted has been very grateful that their parents (or just mother) chose to let them live and a chance at a good life.
I'm sure there are people out there who wish they had gotten killed, but that's not the default type of thinking when referring to someone's existence.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
