Question

If the mother found out the day of pregnancy that either her or the baby will die, which one should live? Why?

Answer 1

The ideal would be a for a mother to take the chance and try to see if she can carry the baby to term. Doctors often make predictions that are not true, and they frequently give you a more grim outlook just to be on the safe side.

She chose life for her baby, and died after the birth. What a sacrifice!

Answer 2

I would sacrifice my life for my childs and I feel most women would, but there is room for an arguement that the mother live. I know my htb would feel like he would be lost without me and would morn the rest of my childs life each time he saw them and thought of me.
It's a hard call to make but really comes down to each individual family and where God leads them.

Answer 3

I would allow the baby to live. The only thing that is guaranteed in life is that we will die. I have no illusions about living forever, and I've lived a good life. I think that it would be time to give that blessing to my child.

Answer 4

I would say the mother because she would be able to produce more life than the baby which has less chance of survival.

Answer 5

The mom if she finds out the day she gets pregnancy there is no life inside of her.

Answer 6

well, i have been in that state before and i choose for myself to live because have other children,but it is really what the person chooses to do and what the medical reason is

Answer 7

This question doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Please stop trying to start debates in the pregnancy section.
