[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thus wasn't right.  Whether the baby lives isn't the point. The decision was to forcibly keep the pregnancy viable despite family wishes.  All the medical bills are borne by the family or taxpayers who should not have.  We all love new life and babies are precious but you can't immorally force a baby to existence - that is what this is about.  It's not hating babies and it's not suggesting anyone is rooting v their success at living.  It's simply focusing on why this should not be happening and so wrong it did. You really have to look at it as a philosophical situation and not get emotional about it. A brain dead mother whose family wanted the opportunity to determine her fate despite her being pregnant was not allowed to do so and as a result has to be responsible for everything that happens - financially, emotionally, practically to this woman and her baby.  I'm dead certain that anyone in this situation would have been pissed to have been told they had no choice in the matter.

The family never said they wanted her taken off life support.

On Monday, Newkirk shared that her unborn grandson — whom the family has named Chance — is continuing to grow.

The baby is actually doing better than the last time I met with the doctors,” she said.

Newkirk explained Smith is receiving steroids and nutrition through a PICC line. She added that baby Chance's heartbeat is strong and that he's measuring slightly above average in weight for his gestational age.

“He has his toes, arms, limbs — everything is forming,” she said. “We're just hoping he makes it.”

We didn’t have a choice or a say about it,” she said. “We want the baby. That’s a part of my daughter. But the decision should have been left to us — not the state.”
