re: Mom to give birth to terminally ill child in order to donate organs

quote:

---

Keri Young, from Oklahoma City, was devastated to discover that her baby, who she named Eva, would be born without a portion of her brain and skull due to a condition known as anencephaly. Keri – who learned of the child’s fate during her 20-week ultrasound – is scheduled to give birth to her child on May 7 and will likely only spend a few days with the newborn before she dies.

This is actually one of the storylines from the show Private Practice.


I'm sure it gives the mother some small comfort to know her baby will help other babies live. Think about it how difficult it must be for babies to be matched to organs.
