whim wud u save??/ mother or the child ?????

this is a very sensitive and complicated situation. i heard stories of this in real life. when i was in college, my theology professor fr. james reuter said in this kind of bitter situation, the baby usually was never given a chance. it's so sad but i think the mentality of every human being is that the wife always comes first. the mother can choose if she wants her baby to live and sacrifice her own life but the husband or the father's decision will always be the final one. maybe this question is best thrown to the husbands :P

To be logical about it, it must be the mother's life which must be saved. The child needs somebody to take care of him while he is growing up. No baby can become an adult on his own. This is the very reason why a child will always have a mother. Let's face reality, most men cannot perform a mother's task. So if we make the baby live minus the mother, that's plain cruelty. Please, if ever anything like this really happens, pray it shall be the mother's life which shall be spared. Good mothers are highly needed in this world, to guide the growing children with all the loving care they can shower each one.

right now, since i'm not a mother yet, something in my mind tells me why would i sacrifice my life over my child?probably because i still don't know what it's like to be a mom. but i think if i am already a mom, i would sacrifice my life over hers. it's because i've already lived my full life. and she hasn't even started hers. and i'll only hope that she'll survive even if i'm not around.
