[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I feel like you do. And I think the reactions here are pretty extreme. The mother is dead, so it really comes down to the feelings of her husband & parents, vs the survival of the baby. I would personally place survival over feelings. [/quote]

How far does that go? If she was 3 weeks pregnant? Sustaining her on medications which can impact the fetus while her body gets contractures and pressure wounds till the end? If you place survival over feelings then you believe in forced organ donation against someone's will?

You believe your view should override someone else's desires for their own body? [/quote]

But we don’t know what she desired for her own body. [/quote]

We don't keep people brain dead on vents forever, we defer to the family in such cases as power of attorney, and the family indicated she would not have wanted this.
