I want to clarify: it is morally acceptable to take cancer treatments if you are pregnant because your goal is NOT to kill the child, but to kill the cancer. I simply brought this example up because it is an example of the heroic virtue the Church hopes we will exhibit when we make choices such as the choice to not kill a baby to protect a pregnant mother’s life. I will note that the likelihood that killing the unborn child will save the mother’s life is almost zero. Such a medical situation happens 1 in a million times.
I found your post interesting.
Who made the decision that it is morally acceptable to take cancer treatment to save the mother? The Church?If even one in a million dies..is it still not death?
