Gave birth after dying

A famous 41-year-old British skater, pregnant for 25 weeks, suffered an irreversible brain hemorrhage last Wednesday because of a tumor and was declared clinically dead.

With the consent of the husband, he was connected to a mechanical respirator in order to gain time to develop the baby's lungs in gestation through a steroid treatment. Two days after dying she gave birth to a girl which weighed less than 1 kilo.

It is not the first time that the news of a pregnant woman who has suffered an accident and has been kept alive artificially to save the baby's life comes to light. But every time it is known, the controversy jumps over whether it is ethical or not.

It is questioned whether it is valid to artificially manipulate the mother's life only to make the baby born. In the case of the skater it was 48 hours, but there are cases in which the mother has been connected for up to 3 months for the fetus to develop and be born.

In order to understand it, I think about what I would like to be done if something like this happened to me when I was pregnant. It is very dramatic to think about it, but of course I would choose to do everything possible to save my son's life. It would be to give birth to one life even if another one goes out, as if a part of me continues to live in that child.
