Because they live in a modern world where they either didn't want children or know many modern medical way to have children including ivf or surrogacy.
But even that, as someone who know a friend who really struggles to have a child, to see everyone is so easily said they gave the child to the witch because she can make another child is heartbreaking.
People need more empathy before they talk/write something to the world to see.
yeah and she also said herself that since the child isnt meant to exist that if the witch takes it she won't ever have more. I would be devastated if I had to give my child to a witch as a payment lol I would definitely have asked her to take me instead too. I hope she saves her unborn child and husband they deserve the happiness they found.
An I insane or have people lost their minds? A child is a life, she as a mother wants to save the life that's going inside of her. I don't see her conviction to save her husband and child as something wrong. She can't just pop a new one at will as bread in an oven.
