And the family pays for it.

Yup.

They can’t make the family (her parents and minor son) pay. She’s an adult.

I unfortunately have experience with a somewhat similar situation (medical bills of a deceased loved one that they tried to bill to me - I won.)

Makes me hopeful for the family.
Congratulations on your win!

This was many years ago, but thank you. The consensus was that they were an adult, and I was therefore not responsible as a non-spouse.

baileygalbreit.bsky.social•9 hours ago

What is the rationale for the family paying? A spouse could potentially be on the hook but parents aren't allowed to have kids on their insurance past the age of 26. I didn't inherit my 100 yo mom's medical debt. How does it make sense that they're responsible for their 30 year old daughter's bills?

Uhhhh.....intubation won't cause a heart to automagically beat, restoring "life" to a corpse, therefore, not alive. Drivel, just drivel.

auntie-grizelda.bsky.social•12 hours ago

UHHHH... Don't split hairs. Smith is being kept biologically alive to serve as an incubator against her family's wishes. There isn't a word to describe how fucking heinous that is.

clywrig.bsky.social•12 hours ago

A statement that is impossible as written, does not advance communication. And if that is as important to you, as it is to me, it is hardly "splitting hairs." I'm not familiar with the story behind the statement, but I'm all but certain that a dead women wasn't brought to life via intubation.

auntie-grizelda.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Please shut up. This isn't an appropriate subject for your attempt at intellectual masturbation. It's offensive as hell.

The rest of us here KNOW what the fuck we're talking about. She's brain-dead and being kept "alive" solely as an incubator. It's a REAL assault being perpetrated on a REAL person. Go play in traffic.

iknownuttin.bsky.social•10 hours ago

To be clear, no one said this dead lady is being kept alive solely by intubation. She is likely hooked up to several machines, which don't bear being itemized for the sake of pedantry. Let the less edifying details slide when others express sincere disgust at the ghoulish realities of forced birth.

It's cruel to the family, to the woman and to that unborn baby. They've made that fetus more important than the woman. She didn't deserve this. If the state is forcing the family to maintain her life, the state needs to pay the bills, including for whatever medical needs that baby will have.

Always wondered how that worked. How is it decided that someone else is legally indebted to pay for someone's medical bills, funeral expenses, etc.? I don't think simply being related legally obligates family to pay for anything.

What is happening to that woman & her family is absolutely egregious.

They grow embryos in the lab. Not fetuses.

What gets transplanted into the mother-to-be's uterus is a tiny cluster of cells. IF it implants in her uterus and everything else goes well, within a couple of months it's considered a fetus.

claudiamw.bsky.social•12 hours ago

S'okay. Nasty people deliberately twist what IVF really entails for political reasons.

Ova (eggs) are removed from a woman's ovaries and mixed with sperm. The ones that develop into embryos are flushed into her uterus.

IF an embryo implants in the uterus, it may grow into a fetus. It's a big "if"!

They'll also be billed for the birth of the fetus. If it survives, they'll be responsible for its care after birth.

GA has the third highest rate of uninsured people in the country, and we're blowing money keeping a brain dead woman alive because of a fetus the state won't give a fuck about.

Right? She's responsible for her bills and when she is officially dead, her debts are not her family's responsibility. I hope they are emptying her bank accounts and selling her assets now so there's nothing left in the estate for payouts.

thedetroitdiva.bsky.social•9 hours ago

She may not be officially dead under Missouri law. I don't actually know that state's law on this, but being on "life support" w/o brain activity may be considered "alive" in MO

caledoni4.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I’d assume unless she’s taken off the machinery that’s keeping her ‘alive’/ ‘declared’ dead and a death certificate issued then she’s still classed as being alive.

swim2thesea.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I wish people would choose words more carefully. She’s not a corpse & not dead. She should be & her right to death with dignity should be respected. A fetus doesn’t have memories; however, if there is a viable birth, that person may experience trauma knowing what the mother was wrongly subjected to.

smilingsoor.bsky.social•56 minutes ago

She’s brain dead,she is not alive without huge medical intervention. She’s not in. Coma

jilllsapphire.bsky.social•47 minutes ago

I really do get it, but at a certain point, like being pregnant, one either is or isn’t. And she is not dead (as I said, I believe she has the right to die w dignity), it out of respect, people should not be calling her a corpse. It’s a question of ethics.

smilingsoor.bsky.social•37 minutes ago

The ethics were trashed when a brain dead woman was turned into an incubator. Not alive, you need a brain for that. her body does not perform any natural functions. DRs stated that her body will continue to decay because medicine cannot keep a brain dead body from decaying.
