As a father, my love for my children is far and above any love I have for anyone else, including my wife and mother. Assuming this is hypothetical, and I love my wife still (we are getting divorced) there is still more love for my children than for my wife. The lives we created are far and above more precious than any bond that we share(d).
The thought that you would save your wife because you can always have more children, is basically flawed. What is to say you save your wife, and because of the trauma of losing her child, she loses interest in having more children. What if she is so distraught by the loss of her child that she takes her own life, or dies from simple heartbreak.... though these are extremes, they are still possibilities. Do not assume that because you save your wife, you can have more children. Save the life of the one you already have.
Besides, there is always a chance that you can find another woman you will love, and have more children with another woman. This is not meant to minimize the love that a man and wife share, but merely to show that there is another option.
Again, the love I have for my children by far outweighs the love I have for any other person. That I would let my child die to save my wife or mother is totally unacceptable.
think on this, If your wife were to abuse your child, would you get rid of the child because you love your wife more than your child? I think not, and if you do, you have a problem. I see little difference in the basic reasoning, you protect your offspring before anything or anyone else.
Save the kid, let the women die
