There's a brain-dead corpse whose family is being forced

41. It's a sad situation.

There is no provision in the Texas law to cover the cost. Which means the estimated cost of $5000 a day for life support (probably more in this case since the person is clinically dead) is assumed to be the responsibility of the family. The question has been asked by reporters in the past as to who is responsible for the bills and not once did the hospital say they were. Which leads me to assume it will be billed to the family.

There's also the adverse effects on the fetus by the prolong loss of oxygen when the mother died. This isn't a situation where the mother was alive but critical when she was placed on the life support. She was already dead and they were trying to revive her but were unable to do so. Her husband states she was unconscious and unresponsive, her face blue from lack of oxygen when he found her. Her prolonged loss of oxygen was severe enough to kill her brain, how can that have not caused damage to the fetus' development?
