It's like the epiphany scene from "Sweeney Todd", only God does the legwork for him.
'Why and how' isn't important. What's important is what happens to the family when it does. It turns out none of them are the people they pretended to be. And even when a terrible solution is accepted, the father still handles it in the most indirect, cowardly way possible.
It's like the biblical story of King Solomon's judgement, only if both mothers agreed to cut the baby in half.

Out of interest, what would have been the method of doing the deed you would have selected in the same situation?

Not to punish her, but because the children deserve a chance at a full life.
He could've also either taken his own life afterwards, or turned himself in to the authorities. Hell, he could've at least admitted he had been drunk during the surgery.
Perhaps 'cowardly' is the wrong word. The entire movie has him trying to avoid taking responsibility, and in the end he sacrifices a member of his family in the most indirect way possible, still trying to avoid taking the responsibility of making a choice.
And afterwards (it's left unclear how they covered the death up) everyone tries to act like it never happened.
Even if he refused to sacrifice anyone, allowing them all to die in a f*cked up version of the trolley problem, it would've still been a choice. Leaving it to chance is his way of trying to avoid all responsibility.

It's a different thing being in a situation yourself!
Besides, that scene was the funniest bit of the film.
