The only excuse I can give is the emotional trauma of holding your child who you'll never meet. Never comfort. Never see their smile. Never have the joy of raising. Even if it has that 0.01% chance of surviving (I say .01 because if the obstetrician already said/saw so, it's super unprobable), the 99.9% chance of holding your dead baby is so awful. You'd be scarred for life if that ever happens; you might never even have a child again. That's the only refute I can think of.
