58. I disagree. Let me preface by saying that I am Rabidly Pro-Choice.
I also want to preface this by saying that it is a little squeamish for me to think of someone being kept alive..a baby hatching factory of sorts, but.....

For years I was infertile, and was very outspoken at the same time about being for a woman's right to choose. I used to have very harsh words with others, even if every menstrual cycle felt like a death to me. Thank goodness, because of a wonderful doctor and surgery I was able to conceive. I now have 2 wonderful sons. If at any point during either one of my pregnancies such a tragedy befell me, I would want to be kept alive so my child could be born. It isn't as if there was a choice, the mother or the child. The mother was beyond hope, so why not give the baby a chance if it's being welcomed into this world with wide, loving arms?
