Answer:

Situation: Your mother is in critical condition while laboring your youngest sibling and according to the doctor only one has the chance to survive. Because of this, the doctor is asking you to decide as to who should be kept alive.

Stand/Position: I believe that it is not within my capacity nor my right to decide who should be kept alive.

Explanation: As much as I love my sibling, I cannot bear the thought of losing my mother. However, I am not qualified to make a decision that will affect the lives of both my mother and sibling. I trust that the medical professionals attending to their needs are doing everything they can to ensure the survival of both my mother and sibling.

Evidence: Making a decision in such a critical situation can lead to long-term emotional trauma and guilt, regardless of the outcome. Moreover, as a non-medical professional, I do not have the expertise or knowledge to make such a life-changing decision.

Conclusion: It is best to leave the decision to the medical professionals who are equipped with the necessary knowledge and expertise. As a family member, my role is to support and comfort both my mother and sibling during this difficult time, and to trust that the medical team is doing everything they can to save their lives.
