The DNR
This where I disagree with you. If there's nothing on the DNR stating that she has no problem with being taken off life support and letting a clearly viable fetus die because she is brain dead. That's basically aborting a viable fetus and IMO only the mother has the right to abort the fetus. Nobody else should hold that right for her even when she's brain dead, not the state or next of kin.
If there's nothing on the DNR stating otherwise, the fetus needs to be protected since it would be clearly viable.

Yep. We disagree.
If I say "DNR"...it is on ME to have any caveat or codicil that modifies it.
Otherwise, if I die...those "systems" I support with my life / energy go with me.

Thank you for your contributions and getting this out of a pro-life, pro-choice rut
Just for clarification, are you saying a clearly viable fetus as in the fetus is already at 25 weeks when the mother dies, or do you mean the fetus has not suffered any setbacks from the mother's death and will soon be viable for a c-section?

Devil's Advocate time since I don't agree with you nor what I am about to type:
What gives the mother more rights than the father? He is/will be the only living parent thus having 100% responsibility for the child for its lifetime but IYO 0% of the right to choose?
