 There's also incest. The reason why incest is forbidden in our society is that the children of incest often come out with severe congenital deformities. So most people agree that abortion is acceptable in those cases. But if you take that logic one step further you start euthanizing babies with fetal alcohol syndrome. When you start deciding who should live and who should die, where does it stop? Where do you draw the line?
