It’s like a poorly written distopian scifi novel… but it’s real.
Turns out that America is the origin of Dune’s Tleilaxu and their Axlotl Tanks.
There’s an absolute PILE of horrifying and simultaneously fascinating medical ethics in play here. I wonder how hard they’re going to lean into “shareholder value” as the North Star here.
There’s nothing ethical about forcing her to carry a very likely non-viable fetus to term. They just began the second trimester and doctors say there is fluid on the fetus’s brain. The family has no say in the outcome.
and they have to pay for life support and hospital care 😔
And then the baby doesn’t have a mother for its entire life if it lives.
And if the grandparents don’t keep them, for any reason it becomes a massive tax burden on us for at minimum 18 years, entire life if the brain fluid makes them bedridden
They do? Even though the state is forcing it?
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/family-forced-keep-brain-dead-pregnant-woman-alive-rcna207002 at the end of this NBC article it states the family is responsible for life support even though they have no say in the matter. It’s practically lose-lose for them
What happens if they just… don’t pay?
Probably garnished wages? Idk; that’s insane, and moreover, it’s obviously insane, and I’m sure it would incite some people to explore extra-legal measures.
Send more blue shells.
Collections… sort of. You mostly just have to pay off the physicians and ignore the rest forever. #murica

The state is paying the hospital bill, right?
And college too, no doubt?
Can’t we just make her the new health minister instead?

For those who only care about fetuses the logical conclusion is to lock up pregnant women and completely control every aspect of their lives. For safety of course.
And they won’t care at all after the kid is born. They are pro birth of factory workers, not pro life.
They might’ve actually surpassed the other Georgia in shittiness.

Other Georgia has abortion rights so less shitty
Georgia the country isn’t so bad. And I’ll ask you to mind your Ps and Qs.
