I think you got the wrong end of the stick! Perhaps I should have asked how many kids wished they'd never been born?
There was a case locally a few years ago that really upset me, basically a teen mum moved in with a new boyfriend and his brother and they killed her baby boy while she was out shopping.
It came out in the court case that they'd been torturing the poor little sod for months.
What choice did he have? Would it have been better for him not to have been born? He was only nine months old.
I can't answer that question. I don't think it is a question that anyone can answer, in regards to anyone else's life. I have dealt with more teens than I ever wanted to deal with, that have attempted to hurt themselves, or to end their life due to a distorted, unrealistic, sometimes down right false, view of life. There are even more that I will never deal with because they succeeded.
Death is something that some people will kill to avoid at all cost, and something that others push to speed up, with no regard to what it may cost. We are a fickle lot, that often places more value on the what if, than we do the what is.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
