Yes, you do.  It isn't altogether obvious these days.

Not necessarily so.  There have been abortions -- perhaps I should say
attempted abortions -- in which the fetus survived, and was later adopted.

But in any case, the same argument would justify murder -- e.g., I
haven't been murdered, and if I had been murdered, I wouldn't be
around to wonder whether I should have been murdered.  Now, aren't
you glad you haven't been murdered?
