The case of Adriana Smith, who was declared brain-dead due to a stroke while pregnant, raises significant ethical questions following the birth of her baby via C-section. Doctors at Emory University Hospital kept her on life support for over four months without family consent, deviating from standard medical practice. The legal framework established by Georgia's LIFE Act, which grants fetal personhood, seems to have influenced this decision, emphasizing the complexities and ethical dilemmas in balancing maternal and fetal rights.
In a deeply concerning situation, the case of Adriana Smith illustrates how strict interpretation of Georgia's LIFE Act led to her being kept on life support for months.
Adriana's tragic case reflects a complex intersection of healthcare ethics and reproductive rights, raising critical questions about autonomy and the decision-making process in such scenarios.
