Will I Sacrifice My Only Child for the World ; Here's My Honest Answer
Greetings to all my hivian's! And welcome to my blog, trust we're doing great? On this prompt, I don't pray things like this should happen for real
Let me be honest, this question shook me to my core the first time I saw it. Imagine being told that the only cure to a deadly pandemic lies in your only child and not just that, but that giving them up would mean they die, and you can never have another child again. Just thinking about it alone makes my heart ache.
Now here’s how I see it: If my child is an adult like 18 and above. I believe they should be the one to make that decision, not me. That’s their life, and it’s only fair that they’re allowed to choose whether they want to make such a huge sacrifice or not. I would still guide them, support them emotionally, and pray for wisdom, but I won’t force it on them. A decision of that magnitude should never be taken away from someone who's old enough to understand what it really means.
But if my child is still young, like a baby or underage, then my answer is No. I will not sacrifice my only child for the world. It might sound selfish to some, but I know deep down I wouldn’t be able to live with that decision. I would carry that pain for the rest of my life, and to be honest, I don’t think my heart can take it. The trauma of handing over my child to die knowing fully well I’ll never hold another child of mine again would haunt me every single day.
Besides, I believe in the power of research and faith. I would rather encourage the scientists to keep working, keep searching, and keep trying until another cure is found. Human life is priceless, yes, but my child’s life is not lesser than others. I believe every parent would understand the kind of pain I’m talking about. This is not just about saving the world it’s about living with the weight of a decision that could break your soul.
I also think about it spiritually. Will God truly be happy that I let my child die? What if there's another way, and I acted too quickly out of fear or pressure? I don’t want to find myself regretting it and feeling like I committed a sin I can never be forgiven for.
So no, if the child is not old enough to decide, I won’t sacrifice them. I will love, protect, and fight for them. I will pray for a miracle. And I will hold on to hope that humanity can find another way without forcing a mother to lose her only child forever.
Thanks for reading through. Bye
Love you all💛🧡💛

This is a very tough decision, even if my child is up to 18, I would find it difficult to sacrifice my child, then as a child it's a big no.

STOP
A decision like that is better decide by the child, when he/she is above 18 years. And, I still agree with you there, assuming it was a kid, giving a go ahead, is just like, not being there for the child, so it can be a hard decision to make as a parent, and best path to take will be to stop it, and protect the child, they have to be another way to solve the situation.
