[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Am I the only one who if I was the mother here would want any chance my baby had at life? I am pro-choice to be clear (or at least pro-choice as it used to be, not late term, reasonable limits), but God, if I was that mom I would not care what they did to me to give my baby a chance at survival.

I am confused by the reaction here. I’ve had multiple pregnancies and in any one of them, I would have done almost anything to ensure the survival of the baby. [/quote]

What YOU would have done.

She was an RN. People who work in the medical field are far less likely to want interventions like this because they have seen the reality of it. It was from 9 weeks! Do you know what living on a vent long term does to a body? Contractures, pressure wounds, etc. I am an RN and have told my husband repeatedly that if he ever sustains me long term on a vent, I will haunt the eff out of him.

Some states actually have laws that supersede a mother's advance directives for withdrawal of care if she is pregnant. I find that abhorrent.
