This question has playfully been asked about severally— “If you see your mother and wife or partner drowning,whom are you going to save?.” Often times we have passed quite a handful of silly comments about it and no sort of seriousness to my immediate knowledge has ever been ascribed to it.

Save your mother and watch your family wither away with each passing tick or watch the very woman who gave you die slowly— I cannot begin to imagine what to do if held up to make such a decision.
