She's now preparing to say goodbye to her daughter. Newkirk said the hospital will take Smith off of life support Tuesday.
"It's kind of hard, you know," she said tearfully. "It's hard to process."
She wishes she had more time“”

I feel so sorry for this poor woman. If she had been cared for correctly and received better medical care, she could be here with her children.

You cannot honestly believe that a one-pound baby is okay.  :roll: [/quote]

The lowest birth weight baby to survive is believed to be a girl born in Germany in 2016. She weighed just 230 grams (8.1 ounces) at birth.

Other notable cases include:
A boy born in Japan in 2019 who weighed 268 grams (9.45 ounces).

A girl born in the United States in 2018 who weighed 245 grams (8.6 ounces).

A boy born in Singapore in 2020 who weighed 230 grams (8.1 ounces).

A baby gestated in a corpse is a whole different matter.  Brain dead can’t regulate hormones in the correct and intricate ways needed to support a healthy pregnancy. A mother on life support, immobile, fed through a tube while her body decays is not giving her premie the best possible odds. She got no exercise.  She can’t even breath on her own you think a heart-lung machine is god fora baby? That a mother  who died due to clots in her brain a G-d knows where else in her body can have a healthy baby?

Look, I hope this baby makes it and is 100% healthy. This poor family— it’s the least they deserve.

But get real, this isn’t a normal pregnancy, it’s a science experiment and if I wasn’t rooting for this family, I would hope that it backfired big time because if it works, it green lights keeping dead women’s on machines, against their advance directives and their wishes as their family’s wishes  to gestate babies. There was literally an Handmaids Tale episode anbout this And t was grotesque.  And what’s next? Ins imitating brain dead women to serve as hosts for fertile couples? The ethical ramifications here go past even Gilliad [/quote]

In cases of brain death during pregnancy, successful delivery of a healthy baby is possible, [b]but the outcome is significantly influenced by the gestational age at the time of brain death[/b]. While maintaining somatic support for the mother is medically challenging, advances in critical care allow for the potential to sustain the pregnancy to allow for fetal development and delivery.

A systematic review found that, in cases of brain death during pregnancy, the majority of neonates (77%) were born alive, and 85% of these infants had a normal outcome at 20 months of life.

The cringiest part of dcum are the posters who base their opinion on a book of fiction (Handmaid’s Tale) and the tv show with actors and actresses playing pretend.

I mean, how can you ignore science for a  tv show based on a fictional book?

Aren’t you embarrassed?

Aren’t you embarrassed for skipping the bolded. Let’s not focus on a 30 weekend whose mother has had an otherwise healthy pregnancy and who hangs on for a couple f weeks— or a duel of days so steroids can be given.  Because that’s what “normal”. Brain dead woman in the 3rd trimester and baby is delivered in a relatively short time frame after brain death. Those are the rosy stats you are giving. And. Know this cause of the bolded qualifier

Brain death of the mother in the first trimester and gives birth to a micro-premie. What are those stats?

And BTE,THT episode?  Happy ending with a healthy baby. What was grotesque was actually watching a dead being used an incubator. Which,I realize, you don’t want to consider or discuss.  [/quote]
