According to you, if a mother is giving birth and her life and that of the baby are at risk: who should the doctor save?

Ideally it would be best to try and save them both but if it comes down to the hard choice the mother should always take priority. Unless/until the baby can survive outside the mother's womb it is, by all technical standards, a parasite. On top of that in most circumstances the mother, because she is an adult, has a better chance of survival than a child so sick it's causing this kind of choice to be made so she is obviously the better choice. Also, personally, I think it's far better to have the mother live and be able to try again or adopt children or something than to leave yet another child in this world without a mother.
