Yes, he or she may grow up without a mom, but under no circumstances could I or would I kill my unborn baby. Even if that means I have to die in the process. Ectopic pregnancies are non-viable. Under no circumstances will the child live.
I don't know of any pregnancy situation that threatens the life of the mother, but I am not a doctor.

You might have missed the story about the baby in Africa found attached to his mother's LIVER. Surgery at neaar natural term age (40 weeks is the usual) saved both he and his mother. You can read the story through
