1. I automatically question the no chance of survival (this is based in part on the many many who were told this only to deliver babies in spite of the prediction) My first course of action would be to get another opinion.

2. However, assuming you are correct that there is "no chance"... I view this in similar way as when a doctor tells a patient he is terminal and he has only a few days to live. We can nurture, support and pray for this individual, or simply tear him apart limb by limb and call it a noble event.

I can agree with those two opinions. However I must note that in the case of no chance of survival I would imagine it's easier and less risky to perform an abortion than to cut the woman open to deliver the child. So while I can understand and respect your opinion that it's different I can also understand and respect a woman that did choose the easier option for herself when there was no chance either way for the unborn.
