"NOW would deplore the use of this woman's body as an "incubator." I'm sure the NY Times would write a concerned editorial worrying that some woman would become brain-dead two days after becoming pregnant and be forced by her Christian fundamentalist (i.e, normal Catholic) family to carry the baby to term. Then Pelosi will sponsor an Abortio-By-Default bill."
Yet...this poor mother was brain-dead for 3 months and absolutely none of what you 'predict' above has occurred.
My first reaction was sympathy for this poor child who'll in all liklihood grow up without a mother.
The father is a young man. He may very well marry again. Besides her grandmothers are young enough to help raise her. This child is luckier than most. She is loved and she's wanted. A lot of kids can't say that.

Well, I had a mother but still grew up without one, so having a loving family will probably serve her just fine.
A lot of children grow up, in loving families WITHOUT their mothers...
She'll be told what her Mom did for her when she's older. It is THE ultimate gift ..
