Dr. Paul Byrne,

Well, there's that name again...

What a shame for this young mother and her baby and family. I hope for a miracle.

Gotta say, I’m on the side of the hospital on this one. Many would be surprised at how far the female body will go to protect a developing fetus. Only in the most severe extremity will the mother’s body act selfishly, and then it usually just spontaneously aborts. The mother’s oxygen deprivation might even have been exacerbated by the pregnancy, since her body may have attempted to maintain the fetus’ supply even to her own detriment.

Of course I agree with the Texas law... It should be the law in all 50 states.

She collapsed at home after getting out of bed, and her husband tried to revive her, but as a licensed paramedic, he was still unable to do so? Why did a 33 year old collapse? That is interesting.

You know, they said the same thing about Terri Schaivo. She somehow suffered a severe lack of oxygen, after discussing with friends how she wanted a divorce because her husband was abusive. He, too, fought to pull the plug.

He was successful. Hoping this child makes it despite the vultures circling.

There is something very strange here with the husband’s request? I remember we went through this before with another husband.

I would think the husband would applaud every effort to keep his wife alive, especially to the point where the child could be born.

Something does not add up right here with this husband’s request?

the whole family says she expressed her wishes to not be kept on life support. None of them deserve that baby when it is born.

I bet they never discussed if she would want to be kept alive to deliver a child if she was pregnant

I cannot imagine a woman who would not say “do everything to save the baby, then let me go”

What a sick, selfish bunch of people she had in her husband and family.

I really do not understand people nor do I want to.
