practically anything in that situation is an option once all resources are exhausted. you can deny it all you want but in that situation if it costs you nothing and you're hanging on any hope for your own flesh and blood, what do you lose? besides your kid. if you wouldn't, you're the lunatic.
i have heard that walking backwards naked through the vietnam memorial while singing michael jackson's thriller will bring your kid back. why not try that, nothing to lose right? yuno, if your are completely ****ing insane, you might as well try anything, right?
