I am of the mind that you wait until the boy dies and that it would be wrong to kill him even though he will surely die.
If the baby is a threat to the mother, and the only way to countermand that threat is to remove it from the womb, then remove it from the womb and let nature takes it course. Killing it so you don't have to care for it while nature takes its course is barbaric.
Really bad comparison. The boy hit by a car continuing to live is not an immediate threat to the life of someone else.
Its not a comparison, It is an example to show that there is a difference between being killed and dying. It is my position that it is almost always wrong to kill human beings. Why is this so hard for you to understand?
