That's somewhat ironic - people can be tried for the death of an unborn child, but if the mother gives permission it's okay?? So, if your mother were to tell someone, "you can kill my son/daughter," it would be okay since she had you? The laws consider it a person after conception, so inevitably no one can chose death for the child except the child itself (and we have suicide help lines to try to prevent that).
