I don't care for the term "ideologues" in this case.

I agree. It was a team of doctors AND the lawyers for the hospital interpreting what they thought were the requirements of the law. The author, or co-author, of the original law, is a nationally known and respected law professor who also specializes in medical ETHICS.

I don't either.

I would have supported a decision to allow a viable baby to be born. I think most MOTHERS would want their child born. I know I would.

This is another case of technology being ahead of medical ethics, which it probably always will be.

However, if the baby cannot be brought to viability, I am fine with discontinuing life support per her wishes.

In the case of advanced directives, I guess this is an issue women should address in childbearing years.

That's a decision for the family and doctors to make.

Erick Munoz named his baby daughter Nicole. The baby was not delivered after life support was removed from Marlise.

Thank you for posting this Cakers. I'm glad he gave the baby a name.

You know, I'm glad the baby stayed with the mother. That is where it started life and ended with her mother. Thank The Lord for keeping them together.
