[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]

Yeah, the reaction in DCUM seems pretty extreme to me. She is dead, so as you say this is the feelings of the family over the survival of the baby.

I think nine weeks is a factor, it’s not clear to be that the baby can survive (although in the grotesque rape cases of comatose women, they have survived), but it’s not like this is such an easy case.

For all the people screaming in here about how she is just an incubator, would you have said the same if she was 27 weeks and the family wanted to let her die, but her body could be kept alive to ensure delivery at 32 weeks? At what point do the feelings of her family stop trumping the survival of the baby for you?

I just do not understand the DCUM reaction here. It seems so extreme to me. [/quote]
