The case of a Georgia woman who was declared brain dead and was kept in life support due to her pregnancy raises the legal questions about the restrictive abortion law of the state.
Adriana Smith was pregnant in two months when doctors explained her brainotic after a medical emergency, her family told Wxia's television station.
According to the family, the Emory University Hospital Smith has kept a living in Georgia for about six weeks for about six weeks.
The democratic state Senator Nabilah Islam Parkes wrote Attorney General Chris Carr and asked for clarity. “Medical specialists and hospitals have difficulty interpreting this poorly written law with a lot of gray figures,” said Islam Parkes.
The General Prosecutor's office replied that the law does not have to keep a woman after the brain's death.
In an explanation, Emory Healthcare said that treatment decisions were based on “consensus of clinical experts, medical literature and legal guidance”.
