Suppose a parent wants his kid to go to heaven but doesn't really like the idea of abortion. The good news is that he gets a second chance to ensure that the kid gets to heaven. All he has to do is see that the kid gets buried alive. Then the kid ends up in paradise! How cool is that?
"Dawud :: Book 14 : Hadith 2515
Narrated Hasana' daughter of Mu'awiyah:
She reported on the authority of her paternal uncle: I asked the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him): Who are in Paradise? He replied: Prophets are in Paradise, martyrs are in Paradise, infants are in Paradise and children buried alive are in Paradise."

BTW, it says that babies go to heaven regardless of how they die. But once they become a child (toddler?) they have to be buried alive to make it. And if they escape childhood intact then they have to become one of the five types of martyr.
So many options!
