Hindu mythology offers answers even to such profoundly teleological questions.
There was this rishi guy living in the forest with his two wives. this rishi guy took his job seriously... too seriously... and not surprisingly, he didnt have children. so he gave his wives an egg each and told them to incubate them with care. lol.
after a period of incubation, one of the eggs hatched, and out comes garuda. the second wife, getting a little impatient breaks open the other egg, and as a result of this, the child, named arunan, emerges with a malformed leg. garuda goes on to become vishnu's vehicle and arunan becomes surya's charioteer.
arunan longs to go to kailash and pay a visit to shiva. surya warns him that its very difficult for a disabled person to go to kailash. so, arunan disguises himself as a beautiful girl and goes to kailash. on the way, he meets indra, and indra enamoured by his beauty, rapes this guy. and arunan comes back crying, and gives birth to vaali. he then goes on to narrate the story to surya, who becomes curious to see the feminine form that indra had raped. arunan changes into a woman again, and this time surya rapes him, and arunan gives birth to sugreevan.
what happens when gods rape a transvestite? we get two monkeys from madhya pradesh, kicking the shit out of each other...
looking at our mythological stories, there seem to be way too many impotent couples - parents of ram, pandavas, gauravas, jarasandhan, garuda, arunan... the list goes on... how, in the name of god, do we have 1.1 billion people? where have all the impotents gone?

Machchan... why do you classify arunan as a transvestite? If he can disguise himself as a beautiful woman to such an extent that his deformity is not apparent and people like Indra and Surya are subjected to such torture that they would not be the masters of their domain if they do not resort to such acts immediately, then "he" could have changed his sex too right? :D
So I contend that the God's raped a woman, a shape shifter that is!
In sum, the concept of sex change operations was pioneered by Indians. Chalk one more up for mera Bharat! :D
anti machi, i tend to agree... this arunan is somewhere between a transvestite and sex changer...
aaarrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh.... ambar....... not again.. i am sick. :)
Murli Manohar Joshi would've loved to read Ambar's comment :)
@Sundar: After all, nuclear, EMP and biological weapons were mentioned in the Ramayana and Mahabharata. So are aeroplanes and helicopters.So why not sex-change procedures? And on the fly, reversible sex change operations, which let you have a child too! :-))
Hey Ishwar,
Finally, AIMPLB Maulana Nadvi gave the answer to your question ...
Children are A Gift of GOD !
Read This...
All India Muslim Personal Law Board president Maulana Rabey Hasan Nadvi said, “Allah ne jiska paida hona tai kiya hai usko rokna theek naheen hai” (It is not proper to stop the birth of those whom God has destined to be born). He termed adopting family planning as “gair zaroori” (not necessary).

You screwed up the story BTW. The real story is even more freaky. Go and reread Amar Chitra Katha. Rishi guy had two wives, wife A and wife B. Wife A was a vamp, wife B was a saint.
Wife A opted to have a (fill in huge number) of snakes as her children. Wife B opted for two normal(!) kids.
Wife B gets impatient and breaks one of the eggs allotted to her. (Tada!) We have Mr.Aruna, with a malfunctioning leg.
hmmm.... thanks ambar!
