There are kids in utero with horrendous problems that people still keep. It will cost a fortune to take care of them, and they'll never have any semblance of a comfortable life. What some people never think of is that if the kid even has consciousness that we know of, they may resent or even hate the people that brought them into this world.
So we should value some humans life more than others? Should we start ranking cognitive abilities or identifying weak gene pools and kill them off too? Should we start modifying dna so that they're no longer a "problem"? If so, I think the WEF is right up your ally.
If a kid resents their parents whether they have problems or not, it speaks more of the lack of societal (lacking love, empathy, and compassion) and parental support, more than anything else. Costing a fortune to take care of a special needs kid, is a societal and government failure to support its own people.
What kind of life will a kid with one leg, one arm, one kidney, a small heart, and an odd-shaped head with brain mass to match, have? Yeah, it's vanishingly small, but it would bankrupt the parents and cause them no end of heartache.
