I would choose to have the pregnancy terminated. But what does this tell us? Only that I would not doom my wife to the probability of death as a trade-off for the possibility of saving a viable fetus. Does this tell us anything about how one values human life? You might as well play the game of, "You are at the beach. Your son and daughter are caught in a rip-tide. They are far apart. You can only save one. Who would you save?" Rather than forcing hypothetical, far-fetched, Draconian choices on people who revere all life ... you might turn your attention to girls who are aborting babies for no better reason than that the senior prom is coming up, and their dress wouldn't fit right. That might accomplish something worthwhile.
