im still confused as to why some people would rather sacrifice the mother than the child i...

i agree with u but i think in this case it may be bc ML didnt seem to care much for the child in the first place. so it just seemed a bit cruel for him to not even hesitate to choose her

As a mother, she just to save her child’s life rather than her own. It’s extremely hard and a tough decision to make - but at the end of the day it is her life and her body.

i think in this case though, since it’s an epidemic, it doesn’t make any sense not to save her instead. if this sickness is spreading and people are dropping like flies, there’s no guarantee she could last 9 months or so to even go into labor. at least that’s how i think of this particular situation

Very good point

I think you might need to look into the mental, emotional and physical toll of a miscarriage before nonchalantly saying sh*t like "they can just f*ck again"... I know these are fictional people but that can be quite hurtful to people who have gone through miscarriages for real.

whoops i gotta admit thats so inconsiderate of me, sorry for the horrible word choice but tbh ill still stand my ground about how its a better option to save the mother rather than saving an unborn child who is yet to be alive. what i meant by "they can just fuck again" is it's better to try again rather than sacrificing the mother's life. although miscarriages are very impactful, is it rlly worth investing the mother's life for someone who's barely alive? if someone had a miscarriage, its not like thats the finish line of their life. like a lotus flower that can still bloom despite the intense circumstances, people who experienced pregnancy loss can still cope their way through the tolls of a miscarriage. ik the coping process may take a while, but its better to remain hopeful than giving up your own life

I have known many women who have lost babies either through miscarriages, still births and one through sids which took him before he could reach his first birthday. Miscarriages don't just end with the baby passing there is a bunch of after effects. Not just mental but medical...sometimes it can result in problems with carrying a baby to term. It is quite traumatic. Some people never recover from the loss and it's not really something you get over. I know my grandmother still can't talk about my aunt who was stillborn and we didn't even find out her name till recently (this is 50-60 years after she was stillborn) because she can't talk about it. It's really not as simple as they can just try again. Sure logically you think save the mother and they can try again or adopt but this is a complicated issue and logic isn't exactly easy to see when you're grieving. Anyway I'm not saying your point of view is wrong or anything my point was just about using a little delicacy in your wording which you got so I don't mean to lecture I've just seen the effects of this and wanted to make sure you were aware.

i based my reply from my sister-in-law's experiences w/ miscarriage. her situation was very rough given that shes also suffering from personal issues, but she still managed to cope over the loss of my nephew. although yes she hasn't completely moved on bc she still gets triggered from time to time, but in this case i dont think its necessary for her to completely move on as its simply inevitable to reminisce and grieve for your own child. we've encountered different circumstances regarding miscarriages, and maybe that's why we have different perceptions about its effects. but yeah i understand ur point abt my word choice, i figured i wasn't so empathetic in that part. i didnt really mean to invalidate the
pain that miscarriage has to offer, i was just genuinely confused why people seem to disagree w/ the ml's decision (wife>the child) because personally, if i were to be stuck in the same dilemma, id choose the same option he picked. regardless, i want to thank u for making me more mindful of my words
