Alright lol.

Yeah but I don't want to abort every single person who could possibly have a fucked up life. I want their mothers to be able to abort them if they don't want them, and the result will be fewer fucked up people.

People who don't struggle with poverty etc. growing up can still have great character. And such struggles can make the character of the people who suffer therm worse as they are forced to compromise their morals to survive.

Every person who is born into a fucked up situation is not a chrysalis destined to become a butterfly. More likely, they are destined to become a menace to society.

If suffering is so valuable, should we make people suffer more as a character test? Maybe we should make people with elite character by raising them with no family, just a random person who doesn't love them, and sparse food and water? No, that would be bad for their development and they would just turn out fucked up. And all the skills they used to survive in that environment would be useless in the real world.
