[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.

“We want the baby. That’s a part of my daughter.

Newkirk believes her daughter’s condition could have been prevented. She told 11Alive Smith was given high-potency Tylenol during her visit to Northside but never received a CT scan that might have detected the clots earlier.
“A simple CT scan could have saved her life,” she said. “She was a 30-year-old mother chasing her dreams. It just doesn’t make sense.”

The family said they are now focused on reaching August 11 — the projected date in which Newkirk said doctors feel baby Chance can be safely delivered. After that, Newkirk said, they will have to face another painful decision about whether to remove life support.

“That’s what I have a hard time with,” she said. “But right now, the journey is for baby Chance to survive — and whatever condition God allows him to come here in, we’re going to love him just the same.”

The mom/grandma is quoted as saying that the family had a hard time deciding whether or not to remove life support from their daughter even after Chance was delivered.

They wanted Chance to be born. He’s part of their family. Part of their daughter. She had to be kept on life support for him to be born.

Where are you getting that the family wanted her to be taken off life support? An episode of a tv show?
