In my view all life has meaning, including ones that involved suffering.  As Christians we should believe that suffering has redemptive value.  Every year we have a family at our lake house with an adopted son named Pete with severe mental and physical handicaps.  He is the most joyful kid I know and it is one of my favorite weekends every year.  If you wathced him floating in the water or riding on a tube you would be hard pressed to say he would be better off never having been born.  Is he ever going to live a productive life according to the standards of the world?  Nope.  But he brings more joy to others than most normal kids.  So while I respect and understand your views I cannot agree with them.
