who will you save?

Question

uhmm.. if you were the father who will you choose to save...
the baby or the mother?

uhmm.. if you were the doctor who will you choose to save...
the baby or the mother?

if you were just an ordinary person.... who will you choose??
the baby or the mother??

AND why??


im just so confused...

i'm asking this because of some exam thing.. if i get this item wrong, i fail for sure...

but for me...
i would rather save the baby, because, the baby has a right to live. ok the mother dies, it hurts but, maybe she would need a peaceful life already. she did her part, so give chance to the baby... but em still confused..

thanks guys(for those who weren't rude at all!! GrRrRrR!!!)

Answer 1

If I were the father, I'd choose the mother. Because she's my wife, and should be most important in my life.

If I were the doctor, I'd choose the mother. Doctors are trained to save lives. A real life is more important than a potential life.

If I were an ordinary person, I'd choose the mother. For the same reason I'd choose that option if I were a doctor.

Answer 2

If I was the father, I would choose the mother (as cruel as this sounds, ) as she could always have another baby and she needs to be there for other children and husband so not everyone grows up without her. I know this sounds harsh but think about it...? Baby, husband, family with no mum?

If I was the doctor I don't know what I would do. Pick which one had the better chance I guess....

If I was a stranger,..bugger that, don't know! Probably baby out of instinct....

Hope that never ever happens to me though....horrible thought...

Answer 3

ahh.. a 50/50 situation

if im the father
i'll choose the mother, because i loved her and i had spent moments with her

if im the doctor
i'll choose the mother, because the mother has the capacity to produce another baby, rather than having a baby and let the father raise it alone, definitely, when the kid grows up, he will ask bout her mother

if im an ordinary person
i'll choose the mother, >>my answers are already there above<<

Answer 4

If I was the Father I would save the mother

If I was the Doctor I would try to save them both, but the mother would be my priority

If I was an ordinary person I would save the one who had more of a Chance of living, most likely the mother.

Why are you asking this?

Answer 5

What an awful thought, to have to make the choice.

But realistically, does the mother have others who are already dependent upon her for care? then she must come first.
Even if she doesn't, the fact is that an existing human life takes precedence over potential life.
Let's say you sacrificed the mothers life for the baby's, and the baby died anyway- you would then have lost two lives.
As a mother I would be inclined to save my baby before myself.
But as a mother of other children, I would be obligated to live, to take care of them.
And I've been in a somewhat similar situation so I have been forced to confront this issue. I have been obligated to live when I did not want to be the one to live, for the sake of my dependent children.

Answer 6

waw! that;s tough!

if i am the father. i will choose the mother i guess!. i can adopt another baby. or just try again

if im the doctor i will save try my very best to save both. if reallt cannot, then i will choose the baby. mother had her time. let the baby have his.

if i am an ordinary person and am a guy i will choose my husband coz i love him so much! but i want a baby.

how??

tsk! u just make me confused! and sad! thinking about the situation.

but it's ok!

Answer 7

ok 1st if i was the husband,id save my wife! because you can always have more kids sad but true, and if i was the doctor i would save the mother,and the ordinary person,if it was me id try to save both! but in case's this doesnt always work out like that, and another thing if theres probs or the doctor think theres problems orgoin to be problems they make you sign a form incase such should happen...

Answer 8

I would say the mother on all 3 questions. A baby needs its mother. A mother does not need her baby. It is pretty cruel and hard, but that is the way I would go.

Answer 9

id have to say the mother, the grieving would be hard on the parents but there is always more chances of having another child, and it wouldn't be fair on the child not to have a mother.

Answer 10

As a mother, I'd want the person to save my child. If they could save me as well, great, if not, my needs are secondary to my daughter's. I'd rather her grow up without a mother than not grow up at all.
