[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am copying and pasting my post:
If I died when the baby was nine weeks, no. Not a chance. There is no way to bring a healthy baby into the world given those circumstances and bankrupting my family while my body rotted from the inside is an absolute.no.

Maybe if I were 30 weeks.

Adding: it is not extreme at all to not want your body to shut down over 30 plus weeks and incur lifelong and crippling debt.

How on earth is THAT position extreme?[/quote]

As a practical matter how is she incurring lifelong debt? She will die, and they can’t recover money from a corpse. Why the exaggerated references to lifelong debt and bankruptcy? The taxpayers and hospitals will pay for this, not her family. Georgia isn’t a community property state, which is the more common situation where medical debt before death can attach to the surviving spouse.

Also, comatose women on vents have birthed babies before. It’s a terrible situation but you are being extreme by not at least acknowledging that has happened.

Again, extreme language.

I get that you would not want to do this yourself. But the discussion here on DCUM has been so extremist that I find it baffling. [/quote]

A woman's body is being kept alive artificially against the wishes of her family for a 9 week old fetus that is most likely to die or live and suffer.

The people saying that's wrong and grotesque are the ones being extreme?

You think the rational and reasonable stance here is to ignore the fact that she cannot consent, and to ignore the wishes of the family and the father of the baby, so her dying body can be used like a piece of machinery to gestate a baby that is unlikely to live and very likely to suffer?

It's like we live in some backwards upside down world. I will never understand how you people navigate life with a brain that works like this. [/quote]
