A child will die very soon if they don't get a new kidney.
Their mother is the only suitable match for a transplant.
She is in charge of all medical decisions involving the child.
The mother must decide whether or not to allow the child use her kidney.
Said decision will result in the child's life ending or continuing.
Does the child's right to life supersede the mother's right to autonomy?
Should the mother have the right to make that decision according to her own volition?
Would you support or oppose legislative action that would seek to take the decision away from her?
At which point is the mother actively killing the child? I'm a reformed pro-lifer, but gotta have a little loyalty. People can make and live with their own decisions.
