I'm not sure I have given this much thought. Whenit first happened, a lot of the details were more sketchy, and I was in the woman's cornor. However, that was when the only quotes released were that one doctor told her it "might" be neccesary, and that it "might" not. I had heard the remark about not wanting a scar.
No, hearing more, I think what the woman decided was grossly negligent, and if people can be prosecuted for killing the unborn child in another person's body (IE: the Lacy Peterson case), then I suppose gross negligence can be applied to the mother, as well.
Drug abusers who get their kids high in the womb are prosecuted.
I really haven't given this one much thought, but either way, I can't really say I'd ever think of this woman in a good light, either.
What she did is defiantly against my own morals. That being said, I'm also very pro-choice about abortion, though it's not something I would ever do to myself. But just because I would never do it, doesn't mean others shouldn't have the right to choose, either.
Gah, this is a rather conveluted case, in all regards. I just don't like it all around.
I can't imagine what the surviving twin is going to feel like when he/she realizes that there was a twin, and why the twin isn't with him/her.
