In Georgia, a baby was delivered prematurely from a woman declared brain-dead since February, revealing ethical and legal medical dilemmas.
31-year-old Adriana Smith's baby, Chance, was born by emergency cesarean and is receiving care in the neonatal intensive unit at just 1 pound, 13 ounces.
While Georgia law on abortion influenced decisions, the Attorney General later clarified it didn't require maintaining life support. Smith's case echoes the complex intersection of law, healthcare, and family struggles.
