Humane is preventing the suffering of something before it has to endure the pain. A child that will be born and deceased in a year or two is just prolonging life for ego. It will never procreate.
Humane is not allowing the daughter of an incestuous father to have to raise her own brother and uncle. Who very well could also be genetically fucked for life and suffer.
Humane is not allowing another unwanted child to be brought up with someone who does not want them. Possibly put through the system and if lucky gets adopted but since odds are it will be from a minority it will not be and let loose into foster care where it will be abused, molested, tortured and get extreme detachment syndrome.
Humane is knowing that the population as a whole needs controls. We are parasitic in nature and over use and exploit every possible resource we can. We are entirely over populated and if we do not correct it ourselves nature will.
Humane is respecting the choices of others regardless of your personal opinions.

I agree with where you said ending it only if it is going to die a horrible short death (I posted this earlier as well - prolonging an inevitably harsh young death would be cruel). But aside from that aren't most of the issues you mentioned problems with the system we've created and the people that we are - those of us who have been given the chance to live. The child didn't ask to come into existence thru tragic means, but it's here now. I can't see myself making a judgement call as to the value of that life, assuming it will be born a normal functioning child. I cannot assume it will be abused in foster care or tortured. Maybe it won't. I also wouldn't be comfortable with killing the child for rationalizations of population control etc. I could never fathom killing it because it "might" contain "rape traits" of the rapist. What if it doesn't? I used to thinkg of those same reasons as legitimate, but when I realize that we're talking about an innocent human that really wants nothing except to live - by natural law - our judgements on it seem inadequate.
