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.

  8. 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?

  14. Step, just because someone brought you into this life dosent make the person your mother!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Treat them equally. That's what the oath you took as a medical doctor mandates you to do. Anything less will be highly un-ethical

    ReplyDelete
  16. Well for me I will attend to my step mum, because I won't be able to stand seeing my mum in that condition, even if she left she is still my mother. I will also do my best to save my step mum

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  19. that's not even a question the step mum of course first. then later the biological

    ReplyDelete

  24. I will choose to attend to my step mum first...cum she has sacrificed so much for me to be who I am nd what I am....my biological mum has to suffer for leaving me behind and running away when my dad has no money

  27. My step mum. CAPITAL.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ma step mum of course. ... she literally d mother he never had...

    ReplyDelete
  29. A mother is the woman that takes care of financial, moral, spiritual, physical as well as the moral needs of someone, it might not necessarily means d biological mother. In this case I will choose d step mother because she is d true mother.

    ReplyDelete
  30. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Dumb question,who ever told you your whore biological mom is your mom.save the mother you know first...incase you fall in this situation please don't think of it,save that woman you called mommy.bother not knowing if your have a story behind even.she is very irrelevant in your life,parents never disclose such stories..your are the real and complete parents.thank you

  48. Being a mother goes way beyond blood ties, being a mom is so much more spiritual so I'll pick my step mom cuz if it wasn't for her I'd never have grown to become the world class doctor I am today.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Step mum must be saved. She have always been there. With or without blood mum, i would have survived still

    I will save my stepmom because in my mind, my biological mother had died a long time ago

    ReplyDelete
  52. If I hear...... my step mom pls, not even thinking twice about it.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Obviously my step mum cos as far as i am concerned she is my mum.
    SM

    ReplyDelete
  54. I wouldn't be a doctor but for my step mum. So ain't thinking about the options. She remains 1st in anything I do coz she gave up her world for a child who isn't hers biologically.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I will choose my mum (the one who raised me, my step mum)

    ReplyDelete
  56. It goes way beyond blood, loyalty makes us family, fuck "biological"!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I will save my step mum cos she is the only mother that was ever there for me.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Ur step mum all the wayyyyy

    ReplyDelete
  59. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  60. 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%.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Family is more than blood.............dat shud help me decide

  63. In this case, the stepmom is the only mom u have/know so why save someone else

    ReplyDelete
  64. My step Mum, pls.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Its natural that u wunt hav any iota of love for ur biological mum

    ReplyDelete
  66. A mother isn't about who gave birth to u,a mother is someone who shows u love, care,dedication!!! Guess I've answered u right?

    ReplyDelete
  67. My step mum first, however i can equally call another doc to attend my mum cuz i know definitely will have fwds that are doc.

    ReplyDelete
  68. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  69. 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'.

  75. My step mom but is a hard one sha

    ReplyDelete
  76. lol this is a very simple question with an obvious answer. I won't even hesitate or think twice...I'll pick my step mum.

    ReplyDelete
  77. my step mum of cause......if nt 4her and God wat could av being my fate?

    ReplyDelete
  78. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  80. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  81. MY STEP MUM COS SHE IS THE MUM I KNOW. NO STORY...

    ReplyDelete
  82. Triage! U start with the more serious one. In emergency, medical ethics don't permit use of sentiments.

    ReplyDelete
  83. biological mum for where? stepmum i beg.

    ReplyDelete
  84. ....this is where I would stop assuming

    ReplyDelete
  85. I'll definitely choose my step mom cos she was there for me when I needed anyone's help. Moreover, 8 months and giving birth are all the same to me.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Forget biological jor. D step mum will b saved 1st, then i'll go 4 12hrs break b4 attending to d next "person"

    ReplyDelete
  90. I will save my step mum cos she is my real mum as the so called biological mum wished me death by leaving me to die in poverty with my dad. What if I was abused,became a criminal, or an ashawo?

  95. My step mum.. she was there for me.. we attach so much meaning to this biological mum of a thing.. the person that brought you up is your mother full stop..

    ReplyDelete
  96. Ethics of your profession will not allow you touch any of them. You will probably have to delegate other doctors and that way you will save both lives.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Step mum ofcourse,she deserves d best cos dats wat she ga ve me

    ReplyDelete
  98. My step Mum ofcourse.Did my Biological Mum knows how I got to my present succesful position?I'll make sure my Step Mum is Very Stable health wise before touching my mother and I'm going to treat my Mum as a patient not a relative.What goes around comes around! LENTULUS BATIATUS

    ReplyDelete
  99. This is very very simple, Will save the step mum……without the step mum I won't be the doctor I am today . What goes around comes around because of the step mum am a doctor indirectly an investment to her and this is how to pay her back for her good effort ,

    ReplyDelete
  100. STEP MUM! Ogologo okwu adiro n'uka mgbede!

    ...Pretty say so!

    ReplyDelete
  101. No need to think twice,my step mum is the first,whoever abandoned me at 8 months and didn't think twice will have to wait till I think twice. She obviously destroyed the bond when she left.

    ReplyDelete
  102. hmmm it is a difficult situation but i dont have the choice than to choose the one dat hav sacrifice alot for me. i will chosse my step mom

    ReplyDelete
  103. I will attend to my step mom who in the actual sense is my mum. Eva!

    ReplyDelete
  104. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  105. My step mum...the biological thing cause shess definetly not a mum can die for all I care

    ReplyDelete
  106. 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

    ReplyDelete
  107. 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)

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

    ReplyDelete
  109. 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.

  113. My step mom first! Any female can give birth, it takes a real woman to stand up to the responsibilities of being a mother! If I'm done with her and there's still time, I'll be glad to attend to my biological mom next.

    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".

    ReplyDelete

  133. I'll use my professional idea to try and save both of them cause they are important in my life, if my biological mother didn't give birth to me i won't come across my step mother.b @Lilian.

  134. I knew it was gonna be something like this!
    Lemme start by quoting the Spy next door: "Family is not who you share blood with, it is who you love and who loves you back."
    I will treat my step-mom cos she has being my real mom!
    If my mom really cared, she'd have taken me with her when she ran!

  158. Are you kidding me? There is no debate about this, its definitely the stepmum, the the one that nutured and took care of her of course!!

    ReplyDelete
  159. Your mum is still your mum but if am in your shoe I will give priority to my step mum. The 1st thing to do is to save your step mother life because without her and God you would be where you are today.

  172. Step Mother All the way. Because they are your biological parents, doesnt mean they played the role of parents in once life.. what if the girl died as a child or became a prostitute because of the financial situation. No need to be sentimental Abeg
