Fetus? Alive? Preposterous. It's a mass of tissue.

And starve the little freeloader woman into Nirvana.

Prayers for baby Torres. His/her father is one incredible man.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Torres said the fetus appears to be thriving, but his wife's doctors have told him they know of no cases in which a brain-dead mother with melanoma has delivered a baby.

Could that possibly be because the doctors always pulled the plug before she could?

Just a thought.

Tragic but inspiring.

I will keep these people in my thoughts and prayers.

Strength for the mother
Luck for the unborn infant
and courage for the father

[Halls]

Amazing story. I hope she can live long enough that she delivers a healthy, happy baby. The baby deserves to live. I hope this child someday finds out just what his other went through for him/her. How sad.

Wow this is a twofer in the eyes of the commie/fascist/socialist Dum. Euthanasia and abortion.

[Millee]

What a incredible testament of love.

Published: Jun 16, 2005 ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - A brain-dead woman is being kept on life support in hopes that her 21-week-old fetus survives, and the woman's husband said he is certain that's what she would have wanted.

What about him wanting his son or daughter?

Prayers needed for this family and baby. Please do your magic ping list, BG.

This needs a prayer ping. I'm not sure who keeps the ping list.

"There's not a glimmer of doubt in my mind that this is what she would have wanted," Torres said. "Any chance at all to save the baby, and Susan would have said, 'Let's go for it.' "

God bless them all..

Prayers for Jason, the baby and his wife. I hope the baby makes it. What a story, tragic and full of hope, for the baby at least. I saw him on TV late last night.

Prayer ping.

My prayers go up for this mother and her baby. God's protection over the baby. I pray it survives! God's peace for the mother, may she already exist inside heaven's gate even while her body continues on Earth.

Nita Nupress - thank you for the ping.

Blessings,
trussell

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.

Susan Torres, 26, collapsed on May 7 from a stroke brought on by undiagnosed melanoma. The Virginia woman, seen here with her two-year-old son, Peter, suffered serious brain damage and will not recover.

"There's not a glimmer of doubt in my mind that this is what she would have wanted," Torres said. "Any chance at all to save the baby, and Susan would have said, 'Let's go for it.' "



Well prayer warriors? Have AT it! This baby needs to live...Me? I'm going to go out on a limb and ask God to bring Mom around, too.

[Salvation]

BTTT!

I had an aunt who died from melanoma during child birth. I hate to say this, but the baby was born with cancer. He lived to be eighteen months old, but never walked. It was a very sad story. The baby spent most of his short life travelling back and forth between Philadelphia and Sloane-Kettering Cancer institute on the train.

Another thread, with a link in it, to videos of Jason, Susan's husband. Very very sad, but a definite reminder for prayer.
