I mean I come from a religious family with a history of genetic illness.

I have quite a few relatives who died in infancy. Their lives mattered greatly, and they improved their families lives immensely.

I get that it’s hard to see a child who is going to die as valuable, and I don’t judge people who disagree.

But the value is very much there, and initial shock of terror and disgust isn’t necessarily a good ethical guide.

I don’t think GP is questioning whether those dying infants’ lives were valuable. I think their point is, those lives were valuable, so how could a benevolent, all-powerful creature allow them to suffer and die merely due to a genetic bug.
