It's selfish in the sense that you're carrying the fetus (not child) to term, knowing fully well that that child will be doomed to a life of hardship, shopping the parenting out to someone else, because you have your morals which forbid you considering any other alternative.
I guess I'll never understand the mentality of it being okay, even morally good, to have your 2nd/3rd trimester baby killed in útero (in probably an extremely painful death), while at the same time saying it's disgustingly immoral to have him/her adopted by loving parents right after birth. I can understand someone thinking they are *both* immoral and selfish. But to say the former is morally good while simultaneoisly saying the latter is disgusting and selfish makes 0 sense to me.
I guess I'll never understand how you got "disgustingly immoral" out of my saying it's selfish. Perhaps you should read what's actually written?
Since you profess bafflement, I'll put it simply: I think it's selfish of this hypothetical mother to hold her morals to be more important than her child's quality of life, or lack thereof.
