Whatever option you choose its not easy because you are killing someone, and thats not pretty is it?
Not literally. It's just implicatively last in regards to significance. Personally, it's not killing one or the other for me; it's killing the same girl, but this way or that way.

Yes and I would know what those wishes are just as he knows mine.
I wouldn't go against his wishes and I would expect him not to go against mine.
No forfeits if we both understand each other.

Its kinda hard when his wishes and your wishes clash with each other right?

I can understand you not wanting your husband to go against your wish, but him actually choosing the better option for you against his own wish is something I would not take for granted, nor want my girl to. Although, it's a man's job to show strength in such times. If you cannot comply with your wife's last wish, you shouldn't be thinking of marriage.
I'm curious, though. Not saying that it is at all possible, but if you had gone into coma, and wake up to learn that your husband sacrificed to save your and your child's lives, would you prefer to have been the one to pass away?
Sacrificed what? Himself?

We are talking about a medical situation, so there is no chance for the husband to sacrifice anything besides his mental sanity.

Hopefully they won't clash. Hopefully we'll both be in agreement with this sort of thing.
It's not like I'll ever find out anyway.
