Just one of those random train of thought questions that popped up in my head.

Imagine this theoretical scenario, a mother is giving birth and the doctor's have to decide whether to save her life or the newborn on its way out.
Ethically, which would they be forced to choose and why?

Imagine the mother's partner or a family member is present. Obviously horrific, but would they be asked to decide? Who makes that decision?

Hi all,
We have had a great number of reports about this thread concerning what certainly seems to be a personal animus. We have made a few deletions, and would be really grateful if everyone could try to stick to the subject under discussion from now on. Peace and love and all that.
