(205,710 posts)She said that a patient was expecting a much wanted baby - but it was determined that the fetus suffered a grave abnormality, would be born with no brain. The responsible expectant mother made a tough decision, that she would schedule a cesarean and donate the organs of this doomed fetus to help other newborns survive. Also, if this fetus came to term and was born naturally, the head would likely explode, causing the mother to become septic.
However, the deadline in New York for this procedure was 24 weeks - and this woman was at 26 weeks when she got this terrible news, so this would not be allowed in New York State. My dentist said that she had to go out of state (I don't know where) to get this procedure - which would save newborn lives - done.
