Euthanasia rather than abortion?

This topic is in response to the old argument that abortion is justified if, by another persons inferences, who determines the whole course of a developing fetus' life ahead of them and foresees a bad one, thus giving them the power to destroy the fetus.

Wouldn't killing a baby after it is born be better at determining life value than before birth, after certain life conditions have been assessed? Thus, it would avoid having to kill as many life potentials as is, and allowing those with successful and happy lives ahead of them to not be shunned from existence by someone else's stupid decision.

This would also indicate that, even though we regard killing a human worse than killing a fetus, euthanasia is actually more morally acceptable than abortion, as euthanasia promotes less unnecessary deaths, and eliminates the ideation of 'situation cursed' invoked justification.

    What do you think, the doctors are GUESSING about the diseases the fetus has? Then it comes out and they're like "Holy crap! It's NOT a dying rhino, it's a healthy baby boy! I was way off..."

    Let's let the fetus develop into a fully grown human baby, have the mother go through 9 months of pregnancy, the risks SHE gains from pregnancy and birthing, have her develop even greater mental attachments to it, THEN kill it. Just to make sure the doctor wasn't rolling dice and reading the stars when he said "Your baby will be horribly diseased"
