The mother is dead. If a healthy fetus is growing inside of her, why take her off life support before the fetus is born? Just not worth it? Even if you don't believe a fetus is a person, I don't see why you wouldn't want to let the baby be born.

Has nothing to do with what I want or don't want.

And everything to do what the dead mom and her husband wanted.

But then again, you don't care about either of them.

They are out of the womb after all.

Every sperm is precious.

I have to agree in this case if the family of the dead mother don't want to keep her on life support for the baby, then they should pull the plug.

The chances are slim the fetus will even make it, and slimmer it will be 100% healthy. This is a case that it's ok to just let nature do its work.

Wrong. I actually do care about them, but you're just being a hack job.

You know I don't protect sperm.

Furthermore, I believe the decision by this hospital should have been allowing the natural death of the fetus. I believe the fetus is a person though, so when it's healthy and won't have to stay in the mom's cadaver too long before they can try to save it, I think the fetus should be treated as a patient and we should use our technology to try to save its life.

Then again, this is an extraordinary scenario that is unique from all other scenarios.
