Adoption versus having your own child: Is it selfish to want your child biologically when there are so many children already alive in this world without parents? Is bringing another being into existence just more Dukkha? Or is it an opportunity for another being to choose wise (hopefully) parents?

Yesterday, Steve briefly discussed abortion. On reflection I realized I had not fully considered this issue. Would you please explain how I might consider abortion in cases of rape, incest or danger to the mother. Is their any time when abortion would be justified considering Kamma, Dukkha and right understanding.
