Imagine that you are pregnant and your doctor has told you that either you or your baby dies. If you live, your baby dies, if you die, your baby lives.
Which would you choose?

What the heck. No I'm not in this situation. I'm a child, for goodness sake.
The reason why i asked this question is because I read a story in which the mother died for the child, and the father was angry because he thought that it was the child who took the mother's life away, so he ill-treated the child.

I'll choose to live. My husband and existing children and family need me very much. I can always have more children, foster or adopt. Sounds cruel but thats the way I feel.

I would let the baby live I already have lived life and know where I am going enternally. And you never no you could live. I have 3 children and with my first they said if I had anymore I would die. I had cardiomyopathy. I had 2 more and I am still here...I did get several other professional opinions too.

I would choose to live because I can adopt and if I were to die, I wouldn't want to break my husband's heart like that and leave him with a baby all by himself when he's grieving over his wife's loss.

Selfish as I might be, I would choose myself because I know what i have to lose and an unborn baby wouldn't plus I have existing children to care for, and unforfilled dreams.

I will choose to live because my baby will have no life without me near him and will be sad all his life.If Iam alive maybe I can have more babies and for sure I will take a good care of them.

It would be hard but I would chose to live and benefit my own life. It is a little selfish I know but after, I would then probably adopt.

i have an age limit... if i am old and feel rather accomplished with my life and i know that there is a home ready for that baby... i may choose to risk my death
but other than that... live!

I would get an abortion and live.
and i do not think it is selfish either. I do not agree that a woman is defined by bringing children into this world. My life is my life, and my child better understand that i CHOSE to have him/her and care for him/her, i am in no way defined by my ability to bring a child into this world, nor as a woman do i feel i should give up my life to raise/care for a child. Nurturing and guidance are different in my opinion from centering your life around children. I am a person, just as much as they are, my life is equally as important, my goal is to guide them to independence so they live their lives, not to forgo my goals for theirs.

honey, I'm living that now. I've been referred to a high risk clinic for my pregnancy. I've been told that both of us can go. I'm trying not to think about it.

kind of strange question!!
i would chose me , because also without me and my support and caring the baby could die, and after i could have more babies.
