Depends on the weeks of the fetus. After a certain amount of weeks, a fetus may be able to survive out of the womb. Many states have laws about this.. if the woman is 7 months pregnant, and is killed, it can count as two.. So this isn't as black and white as most of you here are debating.

@CheshireAzur now they do miracles with just a few weeks old fetuses

@CheshireAzur imagine the man, husband and father to be, in the equation.....will he be rational ?

@revenant That is why people with years of medical training are there to guide parents. Imagine if every parent was educated in the medical field for 10 years.

@CheshireAzur I asked a theoretical question..both mother and baby die

@revenant Ah, so your changing the hypothetical to fit your narrative? Ain't the topic about the fetus.

@CheshireAzur yeah I see...well I used the term foetus but could have used baby too..I was not into semantic rules

@revenant Nope. You're asking if the mom and fetus dies. I already gave you the answer that it depends on the week of pregnancy. Adding the greaving husband doesn't change that.

@CheshireAzur I get it !

@revenant There is no semantics. Fetus unborn, baby born. Those are the distict terms to separate the "born" from "unborn". If you think that it doesn't matter which development phase the fetus is at, then that's your own lack of knowledge, or acceptance.
