Would you have a baby knowing it's going to die?

I don't know what I would do if faced with that situation. In the movie however, her character states something along the lines that the limited time she had with her daughter was worth it.

She can re-live those years with her over and over and over again, so I guess it is worth it.

I felt that was answered in the movie. You see her pre-reliving all the wonderful memories she was going to have. That was the point - you can't live your life in fear of bad things that are going to happen, you have to enjoy things while you can.
