Fetus of Texas woman on life support 'distinctly abnormal,' family lawyers say

[blacken700]

what a fucking mess

Attorneys for the family of a brain-dead pregnant woman who is in life support in a Texas hospital said Wednesday they have medical records showing the fetus is "distinctly abnormal."

They issued the statement, they said, to clear up any “misconceptions about the condition of the fetus.”

Erick Munoz, the husband of 33-year-old former paramedic Marlise Munoz, has filed a lawsuit against John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth seeking to remove her from life support.

“Even at this early stage, the lower extremities are deformed to the extent the gender cannot be determined,” the statement says.

In addition the statement says the fetus as swelling of the brain — “hydrocephalus” — as well as possible heart problem.

The fetus was deprived of oxygen for as long as it's mother, probably also died in-utero, at the same time she did.
In any event, Marlise expressly did not want to be put on artificial life support.

Since when does someone else's desires for something that isn't even born yet over-rule the wishes of a grown woman over her own body? Ludicrous!!!
