I am one of two children. I am against saving every egg and sperm
and conjoining them to give them all the life experience. The
question can only be asked after the fact and not before (since
there's no one there to answer), so it makes no sense to ask "how
would you like it if you weren't."
As to nonhetero reproduction, haven't you ever heard of
sperm/egg donation, in vitro fertilization and surrogate motherhood?
