I think this is a deeply flawed interpretation of the original commenter's post. They are suggesting that we think very carefully about imposing our standards of what constitutes a "good" person on the unborn. I don't see the problem, honestly.

If humanity had the ability to think very carefully then the world would be a much different place.

The number one rule of thinking about the unborn would be thinking about those who are living first.
