Do you understand how contingent any particular fertilized egg is? The probability of you (or any of us) in particular coming into existed is stupefyingly small.
The DNA in each sperm is different, the DNA in each egg is different - they are random selections from the man's or woman's DNA.
Then which sperm fertilizes whatever random egg is presented this cycle is random.
There is no "I" until there is a brain. Your idea of requiring a birth is monstrous.

There is no murder here.

Trumps the right to life of the foetus.

I think it is.
Is abortion at 8 months and 30 days OK?
If not, how about 8 months and 29 days?
etc.
At some point the fetus is viable and is arguably a person. If you don't agree with that, what is your definition of personhood?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
