4. Can a mothers body on life support supply the needs of a growing fetus?

I would expect a fetus takes a heck of a lot of resources from the mother, while a body on life support receives just the minimum to survive.

This sound like a recipe for disaster and as you said, if it survives it will become the responsibility of the father to care for the handicapped child for life.
