Is any of you guys in favor of mercy killing? I was asking this because I heard one story that the mother was about to gave birth but because to some complications the husband was about to ask and decide who will he going to save. Is it the mother, his wife or the baby? Only one will be saved and the time was so short to decide on. If you are at this situation who will you save?

this is really a very hard position to be in. But the most logical answer really would be the wife, although the decision will really burden the husband for quite a long time. Either way he chooses, he will carry the decision in him. That's why it's very difficult to be in that position.

That's a sad situation--and difficult.
However, I would always pick the mother for the simple reason that she had already bonded with several people who would really miss her where, with the baby, they would be letting go of a bonding that could have happened but wasn't meant to happen at the moment.
Either one would be missed, but the mother would be missed more, so I would save the mother.
What if the mother were a real b1tch who really wouldn't be missed that much? Still the mother, because that would be a subjective opinion, and you don't go around disposing of people because you don't like their personality.
Of course, I believe that, either way, there will be a reunion with the one who passes on one of these days--but, still, the mother has become established, so she would be the one who would need to stay behind.
Besides, there would be a good chance that she could have more babies--and, even if that weren't true, she could adopt them.

If wife is saved she will give many babies in the future, so obviously it is the WIFE....
