Mother's life gift to unborn baby

Exactly! People will be speaking from the standpoint that it's worse to give up a baby, to murder potential life. But, for me, losing the baby to save the mother's life would have been a preferable choice. The father would still have the person he loves, the mother a chance at life and the opportunity to create more life in the future. Do you think it's going to be easy for the father to look at the child and see only the baby? There's going to a lot more heartache for that man, and for the child as it grows, knowing its mother sacrificed herself.

I dunno. How can it be good for children to grow up without mother?

Now the problem is obvious.
On the one hand the mother had to think aboot her baby. How would she have felt to know that she aborted it (it's not that ewasy for all women). She might have died anyways and then there wouldn't be her there wouldn't be her baby only her husband. Kind of the worst case scenario isn't it.

On the other hand. Syren is right too, there are many reasons that for not saving the baby.

But that's the whole point. it's not an easy decision at all. I know I would want to save my life cause i am an egoistical bastard but other people value other things more. So the fact remains she decided against her own life which in y opinion is a very hqard decision and therefore I respect what she has done. If it was the right decision from an utilitarian standpoint we will never know.

I'm not saying I don't have unlimited respect for what she's done, that must have taken some courage and I can see it as being one of the hardest decisions anyone would ever have to make. None of us know what we'd really do in that situation. I, also, would more than likely save my life. Probably for selfish reasons, I can't deny I'd rather not die. But also for the reasons I outlined above.

Of course. Htere are multiple reasons for each side. And therefore it's one of the harder decisions one can encounter (yay for being male).
Although just like you, if I was in a similar situation I would mostly out of selfish reason save myself, that's why I find it very interesting that she didn't. Although ikt might have been an overall more painful decision.

We also don't know all the details, right? Was she guaranteed to live if she'd had the therapy and given up the baby? {I know you already mentioned that} 😉

Also, how can we judge the decision she made without experiencing all the emotions she and her husband did? Not something we have any right to comment on, really. It is hard...

So you agree it was better to talk aboot comics since we can actually judge them 😛

😆 I wouldn't know where to start 😮

Oh that's easy. It's best to start with Batman. Just pick up one of the current issues. Detective Comics for example. Although wait a minute you are british (means you must have a hawt accent but anyways) you could buy "Batman: Legends" I heard aboot that it'y supposed to be pretty good. Then I would slowly start with the more advanced stuff like Sin City, The Dark Knight Return and of course Watchmen. Don't forget to get an Alex Ross Comic. Kingdom Come for example is awesome.
