A baby was born in Portugal to a woman who had been brain-dead for almost four months. His mother was declared brain-dead after hemorrhage. The decision to continue with the pregnancy was taken after tests revealed the fetus to be healthy,and after the father agreed it should be allowed to continue. Doctors said the baby was in good health when he was born, and they did not specify whether the mother remained on life support. In January,a baby whose mother had been brain-dead was born in Poland. He weighted only 1kg at birth,and was allowed home in April.
It’s a wonderful story that tells us the vitality of human. However, I feel the risk that the mother can’t endure and die before giving a birth. In that case, it hastens the time of death of the mother. In my opinion, everyone has the right to make decision about own life, and euthanasia should be allowed all over the world. However, in this case, parents have to take responsibility. Therefore, they must think about the baby’s life that without the mother. It is difficult to think about the weight of the life, I think it is important that consider if we can take responsibility for what will happen by what we do.
