- Sounds pretty selfish to me. If she kept having children knowing that
- childbirth could kill her, then she willingly risked leaving the
- children she already had without a mother, and someone else would
- be taking on the full responsibility of raising those children.
- Once she's dead, that's it. It's not going to matter to *her*
- what happens to the people left behind. (Does god forgive willful
- selfishness? If so, then she would go to heaven. If there's no suffering
- in heaven, then I suppose she would be spared having to see the suffering
- she caused with her stubbornness. If god does not forgive willfull
- selfishness, then her children--assuming they *do* get to heaven--would
- be without a mother on earth and in heaven. Thanks a lot Ma!)
