Right

Foreseeing I will not have enough time to study, I decided to flip though some pages of the Bible of O&G.

Speaking of which, I just saw an interesting case.

"A 33-year-old lady was diagnosed brain death at 8 weeks gestation, and she was put on ventilation through 34 weeks, EFW 1.8kg. Now she has unable blood pressure, however, her husband refused Caesarian section. Which of the following is correct?"

It was just something that would perhaps only appeared in movies or soap dramas: The mother lying on a bed in a cold room was intubated. Near her, a beeping ECG machine with a green line signaling the electrocardiac response and a crying husband holding her hand. It was 34 weeks that the new life could leave the uterus which was dying and enter his life.

And when the doctor asked the husband to operate on her wife, he refused strictly. Nothing is going to change. Even there is a baby inside the uterus of her.

What is the solution?

Here I gave you 5 options:

1)It is illegal to operate on her without her consent
2)Husband is the decision maker
3)Parents have the right
4)Doctor has the right
5)Court has the right

P.S. Of course, when the wife is living and can make decision, she is the one to choose.
