Georgia Hospital Keeps Brain-dead Pregnant Woman on Ventilator for Birth

A brain-dead woman is being kept alive by a Georgia hospital because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she suffered fatal blood clots. The woman's parents, who say the hospital officials have told them they have no say in their daughter's medical care due to the state's abortion law, told NBC affiliate WXIA-TV that doctors are concerned the baby has fluid on his brain and may be born with health issues or may not survive.

Adriana Smith is brain dead and her family is being forced to watch her body be kept alive for months - not for her, but to serve Georgia's cruel abortion ban. Adriana deserves dignity and her family deserves compassion, not state-mandated torment.

FTA:

Along with the emotional toll, Smith's relatives are dealing with the financial burden of keeping their daughter on life support. With weeks to go until possible viability, the bills will continue to add up.

This is what Republicans want: Americans in staggering debt. The US healthcare industry is fleecing Americans to the bone.

" Along with the emotional toll, Smith's relatives are dealing with the financial burden of keeping their daughter on life support."

You've gotta be kidding me.

I'd send all bills to those responsible. If the State is making the decisions, the state should foot the bill.

With Authority comes Responsibility.

Younger DR folks may not remember Karen Ann Quinlan who was artificially kept alive for ten years. Next month is the 40th anniversary of her passing.

In a permanent vegetative state, Karen Ann Quinlan was moved to the Morris View Nursing Home and cared for by Dr. Joseph Fennelly and six other physicians who volunteered their services.
