So the family doesn’t want to terminate the pregnancy. Why does dcum want to do so?[/quote]

DCUM wants the family to be able to choose. I take it you do not? [/quote]

dcum is an an anonymous online website.

Why does dcum get to set georgia state law?
 
What states allow dcum to override their citizen voters and elected officials to set state law? Can you list each state abd the year dcum was granted that right and power?

[size=24]granny even admitted the family would not remove their loved one from life support. [/size]

In general, do you personally believe it is ethically acceptable to sustain a brain dead person against her will and the will of her family for a first trimester fetus?

For state law to supercede a woman's own advance directive for withdrawal of care if she has an advance directive or has otherwise made it clear she would not want to be sustained on a ventilator and suffers an adverse event and is declared brain dead?

I can say unequivocally as an RN who has cared for chronic ventilator patients that if I were pregnant and suffered an adverse event in my first (or second trimester) that I would want to be allowed to die and my fetus to die with me. Do you believe that state law should force me to be maintained for my fetus even if it was not what I wanted?

It doesn’t matter what your opinion is or what my opinion is. The state of GA has laws regarding this situation.

I don’t live in Georgia. Do you? If you do not, as I do not, GA state law has nothing to do with either of us.

My issues are:

1. The family does not want the mother removed from life support

2. anonymous dcum posters are lying about the health of the unborn baby to garner support for their wishes to have the mother taken off child support. Which in itself is weird, [i]because it’s none of their business. [/i][/quote]

1. Since when are we not allowed to have opinions about other US citizens and state laws that seem unethical? That is weird. about what is allowed in blue states and on a. It is worth noting that state Republican leaders seem to fight state abortion law being set by referendum votes by state resident. So even state politicians do not actually care about their own citizens' opinions.

2. To be clear, the family indicates they were not given a choice at the time of brain death, they were told they could not choose. They are unsure what they would have decided, but clearly expressed frustration that they were not allowed to make the choice. Furthermore the fetus has fluid on the brain and the family has expressed concern about the fetus' health.

You seem to avoid answering the actual questions posed though. So am I correct to infer that outside of this case, you DO believe a woman who even has an advance directive against being sustained in a brain dead state, should have her choices overriden by the state? You personally agree with the law as written, and applying it regardless of age of fetus? Answer directly.
