Makes sense, the only children they do not want aborted are the ones they can use as slaves

My question is this: what happens to those children when they can't be "exploited" (ie: work) anymore? Will they and their families be able to gain enough money to eat if their children stop working?
The reason i'm asking this is that up until the beginning of 1900 (and still today in family-farms) we had children working too. The families were very poor, so poor that they could barely afford the minimum necessary to survive. Their kids used to work in the farms and factories to help their families survive. If those children wouldn't be able to work they would become a burden to said families that wouldn't have enough resources to feed everyone.
IMO it is wrong to apply the same standards we apply in western countries to non-western countries where poverty is still the norm. It is entirely possible that the children we are "saving" from physical labor in third world (and generally poor) countries (and their whole families too) will not have other means to survive (beside, perhaps, prostitution).
As it is said, the road to hell is paved with good intentions... are we sure that we are not doing them a huge disservice instead?

Silly Register.co.uk. Human rights are only applicable to humans, and even then, only if they can defend themselves to keep it. Neither of these is the case here. Subhuman hybrid offspring can wallow in Cobalt mines.
