On the one hand, it's kind of amazing that we can do this with medical technology.
On the other hand, how much is it gonna suck if anyone finds out that this child was born from a dead woman?
Like that is some religious freakin' apocalyptic Armageddon horror movie shit.
And that doesn't even touch on the fact that the government is forcing this to happen against the wishes of the family.
I know this is a serious topic but if the kids classmates ever found out just imagine the you momma jokes this would generate... "you momma so stupid...she was legally declared brain dead"
"Your mom hated you so much that she died rather than give birth to you"
I feel sick even saying it, but that's the kind of shit that this child would have to go through if anyone ever finds out about it.
If you're the dad, you should change your names, move, change your names again, move, change your names again, move, and never tell fucking anybody about it.
A 2021 review that Berghella co-authored scoured medical literature going back decades for cases in which doctors declared a woman brain-dead and aimed to prolong her pregnancy. It found 35.
Of those, 27 resulted in a live birth, the majority either immediately declared healthy or with normal follow-up tests. But Berghella also cautioned that the Georgia case was much more difficult because the pregnancy was less far along when the woman was declared brain dead. In the 35 cases he studied, doctors were able to prolong the pregnancy by an average of just seven weeks before complications forced them to intervene.
"It's just hard to keep the mother out of infection, out of cardiac failure," he said.
I feel for the family. She's essentially been turned into a science experiment. How awful.
