Reply #20: It's unpopular here, but I agree with you.

When I first heard this story, I found it ghoulish.
Something unsettling about not letting her go, and keeping her in a sustained state of death.

How do we know what her experiences in "limbo" were like, either physically or spiritually?

And I really ABHOR the concept of "using her body" to incubate.

How will this child feel, once she grows up, to know that she lived on inside the dead body of her mother, who was not allowed to "pass on"?

Not to mention, they were not sure at all what the health of the baby would be like as this woman's body was ravaged with very aggressive cancer - it could have consumed the child as well.

The living, interfering with the passing of the dead (and for so long too - this was not a few days or so), to me, seems entirely selfish and inhumane.

I know most here disagree, but I felt this viscerally.
