Thank God. An end to this horror story. <my comment
Update: Judge orders JPS Hospital to withdraw life support for brain-dead pregnant woman | Dallas Morning News
Update at 4:17 p.m.:
The judge has sided with the family of Marlise Muñoz and ordered JPS Hospital to declare her dead and withdraw life support by 5 p.m. Monday.
Update a 4:05 p.m.:
District Judge R.H. Wallace listened to an hour of arguments Friday afternoon, and both sides agree that Marlise Muñoz’s fetus is not viable and she is dead.
It’s whether she’s been “pronounced” dead that appears to be the sticking point.
“I respect JPS’ arguments in trying to follow the law,” the judge said, “but every section doesn’t apply to someone who is dead.”
