可能会发生以下几种情况。1除非进行压碎或解剖未出生婴儿头部的手术，否则分娩中的妇女肯定会死亡；如果不进行手术，则可以通过剖腹产活产婴儿。在这种特殊的情况下，有些人会根据案件的特殊事实来主张确保妇女的生存：妇女的恐惧，或她在已建立的情感和依赖网络中的位置，或儿童的身体缺陷，等等。对于他们来说，在另一种情况下，争论可能会出现相反的情况，即使只是在非常特殊的情况下-例如，孩子发育良好，而妇女患有癌症，无论如何都会在一个月内杀死她。其他人则倾向于在我的开篇段落中提到的任何一种情况下女性的生存，理由是女性是人，而未出生的孩子不是。这个可疑的论点不需要在这里受到攻击，我将忽略它。其他人会再次根据我第一段所述的事实说，必须让孩子活下来。他们反对任何粉碎未出生婴儿头部的手术，无论案件的特点是什么，都是这样的：
THE FOLLOWING KIND of thing can occur. 1 A woman in labour will certainly die unless an operation is performed in which the head of her unborn child is crushed or dissected; while if it is not performed the child can be delivered, alive, by post-mortem Caesarean section. This presents a straight choice between the woman's life and the child's.In a particular instance of this kind, some people would argue for securing the woman's survival on the basis of the special facts of the case: the woman's terror, or her place in an established network of affections and dependences, or the child's physical defects, and so on. For them, the argument could go the other way in another instance, even if only in a very special one-eg, where the child is well formed and the woman has cancer which will kill her within a month anyway. Others would favour the woman's survival in any instance of the kind presented in my opening paragraph, on the grounds that women are human while unborn children are not. This dubious argument does not need to be attacked here, and I shall ignore it. Others again would say, just on the facts as stated in my first paragraph, that the child must be allowed to survive. Their objection to any operation in which an unborn child's head is crushed, whatever the special features of the case, goes like this:
