A brain-dead Georgia woman who was kept on life support to continue her pregnancy had her baby late last week, according to the woman’s mother.

The Georgia woman, Adriana Smith, gave birth prematurely via emergency cesarean section on 13 June, Smith’s mother, April Newkirk, told the local news station 11Alive, which first reported Smith’s story. The baby, named Chance, is in the neonatal intensive care unit and weighs 1lb 13oz, 11Alive reported late on Monday night.

“He’s expected to be OK,” Newkirk said. “He’s just fighting. We just want prayers for him. Just keep praying for him. He’s here now.”

Smith went to a hospital in February with what she thought was an intense headache, Newkirk told 11Alive earlier this year. The hospital discharged Smith after providing her with medication, but she was rushed back to the hospital the following day after she woke up gasping for air. Diagnosed with blood clots in her brain, Smith was declared brain dead within hours

there is no such thing as ‘brain dead’ that was made up by the medical establishment to get organs and hit the kill switch early.

you’re dead when your heart stops beating for good. period.

In my advanced directives I have “comfort care” checked but, since I did this a number of years ago, I included a paragraph that said essentially, all of this is null if I am pregnant, in that case I do not care what you do but save my baby.

I am sure this mother felt the same.

The baby grew inside a corpse—no maternal movement, no nurturing. The baby weighs less than 2 lb and was born 15 weeks premature. You can hope for the best, but this is Frankenstein’s monster conditions.

When this baby has its 5th birthday party you should be forced to be there and tell the child and his “nurturing” family what a little monster they are. Whats wrong with you? Disgusting.

This should be required reporting with every suddenly, or unexpected death. How many jabs did the deceased have. We should be able to see the damage they have done to our families, our communities and our nation.
