I see a profound ethical contradiction here. This was a woman in whom society had invested a great deal of time, money and effort to train her in her profession. Additionally, she was clearly a practioner who was dedicated to her patients.

Factor in the three children now left to grow up without both a mother, and the example she set in her daily life and her professional practice, and her willingness to leave three children, And a newborn infant, without a mother rather than act responsibly towards the three already in existance - and I reluctantly must conclude she acted in a less than responsible manner.

While generally pro-life, I am uneasy with canonizing such behavior.
