(Woman. Mother.)
Healing a baby’s death is no simple brush-off. Many people have suffered and never recovered from the absence and “what if” of not being able to bring a pregnancy to fruition. Losing a child can’t always be healed and “fixed’ by the introduction of a replacement.
If I were faced with this decision, however, I would chose the connected mid-life adult, so as not tamper with the multiple lives that have already become dependent upon, associated w and connected to them. I would want to base my decision on what would cause the least amount of immediate pain, not whether I can pass genes into an imagined future.
