Adriana: The brain dead woman kept alive as a ‘fetal incubator’
AusDoc explores the case of Adriana Smith, a pregnant woman who will remain on life support until doctors perform a caesarian in August.
The description of Adriana Smith as a fetal incubator is confronting but accurate.
The 30-year-old nurse is currently in Emory University Hospital in Georgia in the US.
She has been there since February on life support, having been declared brain dead shortly after doctors discovered blood clots on her brain.
She was eight weeks pregnant.
