Yes, it's hard to know what one would do in a trying situation, especially with children, until you face it yourself. One thing to consider, from my perspective -- humans are part of nature. Medicine is our tool to stay alive, which is an urge encoded onto our very genes, as is the urge to keep our genetic descendants alive and reproductive. Why is it giving a middle finger to nature, to do that which nature explicitly programmed us to do?
