If the birth is likely to kill the mother, one can reasonably assume that a life will be lost either way. In this case, who is to say it has to be one over the other? Answer me that...

In that situation, I'd say the mother. Why? Because she has been in the world and has had many effects on many people already, whose lives would be changed by her disappearing. She has parents and possibly friends, boyfriend/husband, siblings who all depend on her.

Exactly MY point - what gives the mother the right to choose HER life over the child's ??
