Brain Dead Va. Woman Gives Birth To Daughter
POSTED: 6:33 pm EDT August 2, 2005
RICHMOND, Va. -- Family members say a brain-dead Virginia woman has given
birth to a baby girl.
Susan Torres has been kept alive on life support since May so that her
unborn baby could grow.
The word comes via e-mail from the woman's brother-in-law, who wrote that
the baby is named Susan for her mother and that there were no complications
during the delivery. Baby Susan weighs just under 2 pounds and is 13.5
inches long.
The mother was diagnosed with melanoma that spread to her brain. She
suffered a stroke in May, and doctors said her brain function ended. Her
husband had quit his job to stay by his wife's side.
The baby is in neonatal intensive care at the Virginia Hospital Center in
Arlington.
