If your spouse and only child were in a life or death situation and you could only save one, which one would you save? why?

First I thought it may be simple but as I think it is complex question. Assumption is no health/financial pros or cons are there in choosing on or other. Saving only child: Child has more natural years to live compare to spouse.

I guess right thing to do. Rest of the life I don't regret of taking childs life. Saving spouse: You can always plan for another child.

But both of you have to live rest of the life regreting taking childs life. Conclusion: If I am on otherside of spouse situation and I have to advice, I will tell that It is right thing to take my life and bless the child with all good things I can think of. It is hard but choosing child to save is right thing to do.

I would save my child. I've been told all of my life that due to a medical condition that I cannot have children. However, I believe in never say never.

If I were to become pregnant, I would save my child. I love my husband with all of my heart, but he would do the same thing. A child is innocent, precious and hasn't experienced life.

A child deserves all of that, as do all people. A child would be a miracle to me, I believe in miracles and the meaning behind them. It would be a piece of my husband to keep with me forever, along with cherished moments and memories.It would be a hard decision to make, and one that would eat at me for the rest of my life, however, I would know in my heart that it was the right decision.

Of course, if there were any way possible, I would pray for a double miracle to save both.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
