Brain reveal pregnant woman for life support
A mother in Georgia said in February in the second month pregnant for Hirnntoy, who is still supported in life preservation due to the state's heartbeat and left her family behind without medical decision -making rights.
ATLANTA – – A family Georgia mourns the loss of Adriana, a young mother who was declared dead on February 19 after a sudden and tragic medical emergency on February 19, as can be seen from a Gofundme report set by her mother.
What you say:
Relatives said that the ordeal started on February 9 when Adriana Smith complained of persistent headaches. According to her family, she was reportedly looking for help in two different hospitals, but according to her family, they received medication with “no tests or proper examination”.
Only days later, on a Sunday morning, Adriana was no longer reacted. The doctors found that she was brain dead. However, since Adriana was in the early stages of pregnancy – only two months at that time – Georgia's fetal heartbeat requires that she stays on life.
Her family says they are destroyed that they had no legal authority about their medical care or the future of the unborn child. In the months since then, they were supposedly forced to wait while the doctors monitored pregnancy without knowing whether the baby can suffer from serious illnesses and disabilities if they are taken to the term.
Adriana leaves a 7-year-old son and grieving relatives who say that her life was turned upside down. You are now asking for prayers, support and any help that the community can offer in this heartbreaking time.

The other side:
Fox 5 Atlanta turned to the Emory Hospital, where Adriana is looked after. They published the following explanation:
Emory Healthcare uses a consensus of clinical experts, medical literature and legal guidelines to support our providers, since they submit individual treatment recommendations in line with the Georgia's abortion laws and all other applicable laws. Our top priorities are still the security and well -being of the patients we serve. Due to the federal data protection regulations, we cannot comment on individual patient cases.
What's next:
Adriana is about 21 weeks pregnant at this time. It is not known how long the hospital is planning to keep Adriana on life preservation.
A typical pregnancy lasts 40 weeks or 9 months, and most pregnancies naturally deliver between 38 and 41 weeks from Dimes. Health experts say that 24 weeks are the age of pregnancy, which is most commonly associated with a realistic chance of survival through intensive care unit, although some infants who were born for 22 weeks have survived in the top Nicus. Babies that were born between 37 and 38 weeks are usually good, but can be exposed to some risks compared to full -time babies.
Fox 5 Atlanta tries to contact the family.
Reaction:
It was strongly responded to Adriana's situation on social media. Civil rights activists, several politicians and others weigh themselves.
Senator Nabilah Islam Parkes has published on X that she sent a letter to the Attorney General of Georgia, Chris Carr, who applied for answers. In particular, Parkes would like to know whether the abortion ban in Georgia legally demands the hospital that Adriana would keep life increases and what would happen if this was not the case. She also asked whether Carr's office would support or reject the persecution of the persecution of the persecution of life preservation.
The caucus of reproductive freedom, a group of representatives of the US representative house, who are devoted to promoting reproductive rights, has also made an explanation.
They deeper:
The Heart Beat Act in Georgia, which is officially known as the law on living infants, is a state law that significantly limits the access of abortions by banning most abortions as soon as a fetal heartbeat is discovered – typical by six weeks of pregnancy. The law only allows limited exceptions, including if pregnancy is determined as medically in vain. If the mother's life is in danger and in cases of rape or incest, but only if a police report has been submitted.
Since the law contains a fetal personality clause, the unborn children gives legal recognition after recognizing a heartbeat, this can limit the medical decision -making in situations in which seriously ill or brainless pregnant women are involved, even if the forecast for the fetus is bad.
The heartbeat in Georgia was initially adopted in 2019, but was only until Roe v. Wade enforced in 2022. It is one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.
