The family is being forced to pay for a 23 week ICU stay for their *dead* loved one against their will. There is no indication the fetus will even survive.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

Not one bit of this situation is okay.

This reminds me of the Republican folly in the Terri Schiavo case. Republicans were proved to be completely WRONG.
Dead women should not be used as incubators!
Is there any research on how healthy a fetus can be that was essentially grown inside a preserved corpse?
Most of the fetuses were around 16 weeks of age, when their mothers were brain dead!
I think it is cruel to try and incubate a 9 week fetus in their dead mother.
I see more problems that benefits.
Is this an experiment?
It was pay walled and only the sign in screen came up.
A few sentences were visible on the google search but not on the site itself.
pull their board accreditation, this is monstrous
