I disagree...

when decision #2 comes into play is when decision 1 was not really a decision at all. It "just happened" is usually the case. If decision #1 was actually "decided", either way.... whether it's yes or no.... there isn't a need for decision #2. The only time decision #2 is a decision is when #1 wasn't. So all decisions cannot default to #1.

#1 and #3 go hand in hand. Essentially the same. Unless you're a surrogate or some other bizarre circumstance. But #2 is all by itself. #3 only becomes a real decision if #2 exists, because at that point, there are options like adoption.

Here's a crude graph to illustrate the discussion:
