Case Analysis: The Mother or the Baby: Who should be saved?

A woman in her early thirties is three - month’s pregnant with her second baby. She is diagnosed with uterine cancer. If her uterine is removed, chances are, she will live but the operation (hysterectomy) also endangers the life of the fetus. Her doctors told her that she has to undergo the said operation as soon as possible to save her life. The woman wants her baby to live but her husband disagrees with her. He wants her wife more than the baby. Should the operation be done? Is it morally permissible under the principle of double effect? Why or why not?​
