What Would You Do?

Jason Torres with son, Peter, 2.From USA Today:

“A 26-year-old pregnant woman with cancer whose brain function ceased last month is being kept alive with a respirator in hopes she can have a very premature baby who has a chance to survive.”

The article brings up a practical dilemma…

“Unspoken, but hovering like a cloud: Picking the first option would be hugely costly. He’d be ground down by unimaginable debt. The couple has health insurance but expects it will cover only a fraction of the cost, currently running at least $7,500 a day…”

What would you do?

Put another way: Would you rather spend the rest of your life paying bills and raise a child who is your own flesh and blood, or just spend the rest of your life trying to forget the baby you killed because paying bills sucks?
