And the baby would have suffered death either way; at least he died feeling the love from his parents.
Everyone born has to die anyway. Is that a reason to murder them?
I don’t know that I could.do that. I don’t know that I could hold a suffering,dying baby, thinking I could have prevented that. It is a horrible choice to have to make and I don’t know that I could view a decision to a abort a baby to prevent unnecessary suffering the same as waking up and deciding I didn’t want to be pregnant anymore.
I know the outcome is the same... a dead baby ... but I guess the struggle for me is that I don’t think I am convinced that it is ok to put someone thru pain and suffering before dying when the pain and suffering part of it could be shortened. This is one of the few things in my life that I am not cut & dried, black & white one.
Forgive me if I don’t reply any more today. It is almost 1AM and I have an early morning. But I appreciate the discussion and will check back tomorrow... I want to ask about the ‘make a choice between mother or baby’ dilemma.
Thank you.
