Newlynew, i think ya have been watching bollywood movies for too long. I didnt start this thread just because i m a bollywood lunatic. Actually, i was having conversation with some gurls and some body brought this issue. I was arguing to save my wife's life but one gurl pointed out sth i never thought. She was in favour of giving her life if that  would save her baby. She said "I hope I would marry somebody who will choose my baby to live instead of me." That answer made me think a lot. What would you do if you wife says when her labor starts? Would that gurl choose her baby over her husband's life (i know this is not pragmatic but i m putting into consideration)?  That gurl may not hesitate to die for her child but is she bold enough to say "i want my baby no matter what happens to my husband"? I am just trying to say "Its whole lot easier to die than look your near or dear ones dying." People who are dying do not cry. The people who live around the dying person cry.
