In this special extended episode, Creighton University Professor of Medical Humanities Charles Camosy discusses ethical considerations for a life-affirming approach to treating pregnant women diagnosed with brain death during pregnancy. This discussion with AAPLOG Board Vice Chair and board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Susan Bane comes in the wake of the tragic case of Adriana Smith, a pregnant mom who was diagnosed with brain death and is being kept on life support in the hopes that her son, Chance, can be born alive.
