Some of the Difficult Stuff

There is a nurse on our team who is an adventurer. She works in Switzerland to make money to then go be a nurse abroad. She spoke about a village where she helped with labor and delivery. One of her patients needed an emergent c-section. Her husband asked if it was a boy or a girl. It is illegal in India to determine the gender of a baby, so he was told they can not tell. He said that he did not want the c-section, and the woman died.

This story haunted me. How can a man determine the fate of his wife?
