Doesn't that same argument (about not having existed at all) apply to all forms of birth control, including abstinence? Almost every time a woman menstruates the 'tragedy' of someone not existing has potentially occurred. To call this a tragedy at all seems absurd to me, and no, it is nowhere near equally tragic as living with many hereditary diseases.
I think there are arguments to be made that not every hint of imperfection should be eliminated (who gets to decide what imperfection means?), but your argument isn't one of those.
If I had never existed (for any reason) nobody would be able to miss me, least of all me. My parents would have tried again a month later and gotten someone else. Perhaps someone better, we'll never know.
