And we may not be perfect or quite what our parents wanted, but they love us anyway, gender and life expectancy be damned.

Or not love as seems all too often the case(s)...

As for the problem:

On the opposite extreme, we have life rights being granted to fetuses in the US, and I don't think that's quite right either.
