Texas keeps dead body as fetus incubator against family's wishes.

Sorry if Germans,
but I would like to take this time to congratulate the "pro-life" movement. You've really done a good job with all the laws you've been passing. Keeping a dead woman on life support for weeks as her body decomposes - all to keep a 14 week old fetus alive - for what? Did anyone honestly expect it would make it to viability? (24 weeks). That's 10 weeks of gestating in a dead body. The mother was without oxygen for an HOUR before she was put on life support machines.
Texas and anti-choicers are messed up.

Her poor widower could smell her body decomposing.

It wasn't a metaphor.
She was DEAD. DEAD PEOPLE DECOMPOSE.

It's Germans but it's amazing that some actually believe it's God's plan to hook up a cadaver to a machine and use it as an incubator for a fetus.

if she is on life support that means blood is still being pumped (artifically) through her body to her tissues. Therefore the tissues should not decompose

No no no
In tuba world if you are on life support for 2 weeks you can be an extra on the walking dead

So he says she will in the future, but your post said she already is and smells
Which is it?

Did you know that the future eventually becomes the past?
Would YOU take an organ from a person who has been dead 8 weeks? Do you think maybe there's a reason doctors have at most a couple of days to harvest organs from brain-dead persons?

So when a mass of 20 week old tissue is put in an incubator, does its smell turns from rotting flesh into life?

This is a complicated case and should be treated as such. First of all, a brain-dead woman was kept on life support for a month in Michigan so they could c-section her twins at 25 weeks. LINK
Note, even after 36 days, her organs were donated.
In the case of the Munoz family, the situation is tougher. The baby was further from viability and had possibly suffered serious injury from lack of oxygen. The right choice is a very blurred line here. If the baby has a decent shot at survival, and the mother's body can be kept in good enough condition, why take the fetus's life? If not, you might have to make the tough call and pull the plugs

nowhere in either article does it say that they she was starting to decompose. When a person is on life support, oxygen, food, water and other nutrients are pumped in by machine that keep the body from decomposing. The person does start to have a smell but is usually from lack of bathing a sponge bath can only do so much. Walk into a morgue at hospital and you will know what the smell of death is.

It wasn't tough at all.
Everyone but the small texas guvment wanted the mom to be allowed to be buried so the father could start to grieve.

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.
I'm not getting into this though tonight.

Are you retarded? Did you read the article? It doesn't matter if your brain is'dead". As long as your body is kept alive(your heart is beating and you are fed nutrients) your body will not decompose because it is alive.
Oh and nice jab at pro-lifers as if this is what they want. Geeze you sound like a fricking moron when you post like this.

Congratulations! You are as persuasive as a EBR council member against St. George. Takes a lot to reach that level, but you have done it. Again, congratulations!

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.
