never changed a diaper, but when my little sister was newly potty-trained i occasionally had to help her wipe. vaguely similar.
i do have two little sisters, so i have seen diapers being changed. i don't think it's so terrible. i certainly wouldn't refuse to do it or anything like that. i mean, i'd much rather deal with someone else's poo than, say, someone else's menstrual blood.
which is odd, come to think of it. i'm fine with other people's blood, and i'm fine with vaginas [some people's more than others'], but the two together are way more icky.
It's my understanding that menstrual blood is less likely to contain large amounts of bacteria, or of toxic chemicals, than either urine or feces, but I think I agree with you anyway. Just because something's logical doesn't mean it's what we prefer.
