Contrary to what some of the “experts” are quoted as saying, this woman is NOT “dead.” “Brain-death” is an extremely misleading term, invented by the usual suspects for there anti-life convenience.
Possibly the woman will not recover, but she is not “dead” if all her systems are working.
As for the condition of the baby, it is evidently still alive as well, although unclear in what condition. It would be wrong to kill mother and child for the husband’s convenience, although it is unknown on the evidence given whether or not either of them will survive.
God’s will be done. Prayers for them.
in this case mom is dead. She meets the medical and legal criteria. She is gone. The fact that she can be supported with a vent and pressors does not make her any less death. In the exact same way that organs may be kept alive for organ transplant.
In this case as the argument is made to try to keep the organs alive I think it is morally correct and in fact imperative to try to keep baby alive. However the odds are overwhelming against. The moms body will deteriorate just as the poor innocent young woman deteriorated even while her corpse was being ventilated and artificially augmented.
Finally, viability is at or about 24 weeks. Getting baby to 27 weeks would be impressive and 30 weeks a miracle. If it came to pass once fetal lung maturity were confirmed c section should occur. There is no medically responsible way to even consider trying to get to 40 weeks.
Just to be clear as I have no doubt some will try to twist my words: mom is dead, it is morally consistent with modern medical practice to attempt to get baby to viability. In my opinion the abortion right activists who are pushing for something else are totally ignorant as to the medical science.
“but she is not “dead” if all her systems are working.”
All her systems are not working.
