She needs to think really, really hard (& perhaps speak out loud to herself) about what you wrote here^.
All the options have been discussed & are personal, moral decisions. Just remember quality of life is as important (or more) than quantity. For everyone involved.
Whatever she decides, the best thing you can do as her friend is encourage her to do what is best for HER, in her heart, and try not to let other ppls biases affect her decision. Whatever she does, she has to want it 110% for herself b/c ultimately its her life to live.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
