Question of the day....

A LIB reader sent in the question. See below and tell us who you would save and why...
Imagine your mum left your dad when you were just 8 months old because he had no money. Your dad remarried a lady because he needed someone to take care of you. Unfortunately she couldn't bear your dad a child, she dedicated her entire time looking after you. Due to the financial state of the house, your step mum sold all she had so that she could sponsor your education. Luckily you graduated as a medical doctor, own you your hospital. One day an emergency occurred due to an accident which involved your biological mother and your step mother, your hospital was the nearest and obviously a good one, so both were brought in. You can only attend to one patient at a time being the only doctor on duty. Who will you give priority to? Your biological mum / or your step mum? (The situation permits you to choose just one, both losing blood profusely.

Giving birth to a child does not make you a mum..

it is the act of mothering that makes one a mother..

a mother is someone who won't abandon her child no matter what.

a mother is me..

we all know the answer to this don't we?

Ur step mum of course .

Is simple, my step mum. This is because she gave me true love. You don't have to be biological to be mum or dad to someone. You just need to love the kid/person like a dad or mum and off course accept the person as such in whole as well.

Hmmmmmmmm. A serious one there...definitely I will close my eyes and take my step mother cos if my biological mother had me at heart, she would have stayed with my dad cos of me being the only reason. She can't reap where she didn't sow no matter the thickness of blood.

I don't think any sensible person will choose the biological mother. Biology doesn't trump sacrifice. Just because someone shares the same blood as you doesn't mean they're family.

I don't wish to come across such a situation but if I did, I'd choose to save the step mum.

Anonymous said...

Why is there is a consideration in this situation, you should definitely take care of your step mother over your birth mother. Giving birth to a child doesn't make you a mother, your step mum though she's not your biological mother thats your MUM/MOTHER 1000%.

Will definitely save my stepmother who biologically is one but emotionally and physically she is my mother. Its not just bringing a baby into the world that makes one a mother but you caring, showing love, risking your life for her makes you one. And that is the woman i will save.

Step mum

Unknown said...

A persons mum doesn't necessarily have to be the person that birthed me. That good woman who took care of me, wen my so-called mother left me wen i was just 8 months, that is my real mum and the woman I'll save. She shouldn't be called step-mum, she should be called mum. NB, i don't hate my biological mum, someone else would takia of her, but i choose the woman who suffered for me. someone else shouldn't reap the fruit of her labour. YES, I'll save my 'STEP-MUM'.

First in the medical profession you can't treat your relatives, which means that you can treat your biological mother becauseyou have no prior relationships with her. If I really want to save someone I'll save my step mother.

BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, NO MATTER WHAT SHE HAS DONE

Fosign said...

I will definately attend to my step mum first bcos she is d mother i grew up to know and love, and she took care of me and sacrificed a lot for me. if my biological mum gave a hoot about me, she wldnt av left me and my dad bcos there was no money. if after attending to my Step mum my biological mum is still alive,then i can now attend to her.

I will choose to attend to my step-mother who dedicated her entire time looking after me, she also sold all she had to sponsor my education: she make sure that i became who i am today (A Medical Doctor), if she had not stood in the gap for me i might not have be who i am today. As for my biological mother i have forgiven her but she cannot have my attention now.

I will definitely choose my step mother. A mother isnt just someone who bears a child but someone who goes through every possible to take care of the child

Anonymous said...

i dont believe this question should be debated or anything. the stepmum obviously should get topmost attention. from your information, your biological mum only gave birth to you but your stepmum through God has been able to support you enough to even be a doctor. if your mum left you in the hands of a wicked stepmum who didnt send you to school to study medicine, you wont be able to think of even treating her (your mum)

Kay said...

Step mom bro, sometimes blood doesn't mean genetic linkage, blood means love, step mom showed love all her life

Anonymous said...

I will save my biological mother's life because there will be so many reasons to why I will save her.

1. To ask her what I ever did to her to abandon me at such age.
2. To make her see how much have grown.
3. To make her see the woman that I've become
4. To make her feel jealous and see how incapable she is. and another woman was able to do what she couldn't do
5. To make her call herself worthless and know she's a disgrace to mother hood.
6. Finally, to allow her conscience send her to her grave finally.

Being a mother is way more than giving birth to a child.Your question is quite easy, i would ask the woman who gave birth to me and abandoned me for the love of money to go to the reception to sort out the bills first while i attend to the mother who brought me up against all odds "urgently".
