Just because she's a daughter doesn't mean she's a child, but yes when someone is braindead then pulling the plug is often the best choice

The kid I’m talking about is the one in the womb. Pull the plug on its mother and it has 0 chance. There are 2 lives at stake, not just 1.

“She’s pregnant with my grandson. But he may be blind, may not be able to walk, may not survive once he’s born,” Newkirk said.

You want to let a blind, crippled, orphaned fetus grow into a kid just so it can die after its brain is more developed?

The suffering is the point.

Problem is she was found brain dead in first trimester. That doesn't make for good chances for the fetus.

If it was third trimester, then ok I can see it, but this is going to be even more tragic trying to make the fetus live.

If you meant the fetus why didn't you just say so?
Also, not sure i would consider being braindead and kept "alive" by machines much of a life

The parents want her off life support. The fetus is a fetus. This directive is monstrous and you're a monster for supporting it.

She was 9 week pregnant when she died. This is the "kid" at that point: https://images.app.goo.gl/km8W6kjFyxhKcBkB6
