for the newsbug


	I think that to say it would be "considerate" of the
baby is a very onesided, and anti-father statement.  In the
first place, just because the woman carried the child through
pregnancy does not give her a priori, uncontestable rights
to raise the child.  In my mind, equality of men and
women should require the woman to inform the man that
he is a father.  In addition,  its also possible that at
some distant point in time, the father might need an
organ transplant or transfusion that only his child might
be able to give.
