re: #404 ausador

It is very difficult, verging on impossibly difficult, to sustain a fully braindead woman through 6 or more months of pregnancy. Medical science’s previous success rate on this is pretty abysmal, this isn’t a coma, this is brain death along with full life support.

Her odds of making it to full term with the child are marginal at best and those odds are based on the fetus itself being uninjured and healthy. Odds are that the busy-bodies so interested in prolonging the life of the fetus at any cost (that they don’t have to pay, physically, emotionally, or monetarily) are instead merely prolonging the fathers agony. :(

I think odds are greater that the busy-bodies are doing this for no other reason than because they’re afraid of legal retribution if it gets to authorities that they pulled the plug. Let the family pay the court costs to challenge the case rather than be the ones responsible for explaining to a court why they made the decision to fulfill the husband’s wishes in what their legal department views as a violation of state law.
