FORT WORTH — The diagnosis was crushing and irrevocable. At 33, Marlise Munoz was brain-dead after collapsing on her kitchen floor in November from what appeared to be a blood clot in her lungs.

But as her parents and her husband prepared to say their final goodbyes in the intensive care unit at John Peter Smith Hospital here and to honor her wish not to be left on life support, they were stunned when a doctor told them the hospital was not going to comply with their instructions. Mrs. Munoz was 14 weeks pregnant, the doctor said, and Texas is one of more than two dozen states that prohibit, with varying degrees of strictness, medical officials from cutting off life support to a pregnant patient.

That is fucking insane

Not only insane, but I really wonder who is paying for MONTHS in an ICU.

Now, do you have a comment on the story or you want to grab his ass some more?

Actually, it now appears the "child" will have severe disabilities even assuming the fetus reaches term. But, keeping a dead person functioning inorder for her to be a host to a fetus would seem, to rational people, to have the likely outcome. And that, btw, is totally irrelevant. If the woman left an advanced care directive, why the fk is it the concern of religious zealots what becomes of a fetus in her dead body? It's not your fcking fetus.

If her wishes and her family wishes her to be turned off machines, then the hospital is holding that woman hostage. I don't care that she has a fetus inside her. IT'S HER BODY.

You gonna foot the bill? You gonna raise that child with all its defects? You gonna shell out the dough to the family to bury their daughter/wife after she incubates something that is now damanged?

Thought so.

And when this child is taken out of the human incubator with all those medical problems they are going to make an argument of why he should take and care for the child only the hospital wanted yelling "Congratulations!"

If he was deprived of oxygen he will make an outstanding liberal.

Nanny state, literally.

I'm still wondering if Texas is not subverting the will of God.

Which means this baby will be born without a soul -- a perfect vessel for the Anti-Christ.

Good Job, Lone Star State!!
