Heartbreaking choice: The woman who terminated her baby to save her brother... but did she make the right ethical decision?

love a sister like her

There was no good or bad choice, it was just a painful choice she was forced to make. I sincerely hope those who would insult her never have to face a similar choice themselves.

yes she absolutely, undoubtedly made the right decision.

What an awful decision to make, poor women. Hope everything goes ok and that she can have baby when she's better

Right choice

brave lady. Hope her brother recovers.

She made to right choice she can have another baby her brother could of died. She should feel proud

What a horrible choice to make. May God look over all of them -

The sibling aspect aside, perhaps her brother supports their parents and has a family of his own.

There's no way I can even possibly comment for or against this as you will never know what you would decide until you're faced with that decision.I wish them all the very best of luck.

Must have been hard, but I think she made the right choice in the long run. She could have chosen the baby then been one of the thousands of women that miscarry .I hope her brother does well and she goes on the have the family she wanted

I would do it ....

That is a horrible decision to have to make and if i were in her shoes, i would make the same choice she did. It's easy to judge but she will be able to conceive again... she wont be able to bring her brother back. And despite what people say, there is a much stronger connection with your live brother that you've spent your life with than your unborn baby.

I've lost a sibling and I've lost a so called undeveloped foetus , some commenters deny is a human. The pain of each loss is equal but different. I would no more sacrifice my baby to save my brother than sacrifice my brother to save my baby, if that were legal. I'd just have to hope another match was found. It's difficult that choice and there isn't a right thing to do. Am I a coward to say I'd let nature take its course and leave the decision to nature, or God or whatever? Actively killing over not acting to save someone seems worse to me. I'd do anything for my brother and anything for an unborn baby EXCEPT kill one for the other. At least there is some hope the brother may survive. Poor lady, I wish her and her family the best as she's made what SHE thinks is right and it was her choice not mine.

A controversial decision.

I pray i never need to make that choice. But I'm sure i would do the same to save my sister....

er its nothing to do with social media,ffs its up to her and no one else.god I'm soooo glad i don't use social media just full of snow flakes complaining about everything

Never judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes.

An experience is not an experience until one experiences it. Nobody can say anything about her decision. None of anybody's business. You can say/share such an experience if/when you encountered it.

I'm unlikely to ever be in this situation so I have very little to offer than it must have been one of the most difficult decisions to make for them. I don't envy them.
