Ok, granted. But again. If the treatment failed both mother and infant would have died. Was there a physician on the Catholic board that decided this?
Since the hospital and the mother decinded no treatment was to be done, we will never know if treatment could have saved the lives of them both. Seems to me that at 11 weeks and the mother not being on deaths bed we will never know.
"An unborn child is not a disease. While medical professionals should certainly try to save a pregnant mother’s life, the means by which they do it can never be by directly killing her unborn child. The end does not justify the means," he added... "The direct killing of an unborn child is always immoral, no matter the circumstances, and it cannot be permitted in any institution that claims to be authentically Catholic," he concluded.
The determination to kill the child should have been the absolute last resort to save the mother if necessary and not a choice of convenience
Given the timing, I would think the Church looked at every angle before making this decision.
