Pre-mature baby dies

A followup to a post in August about Susan Torres. At the time I wrote of it as a contrast to the Terri Schiavo disaster.

Sadly, Susan Torres was kept on life support for three months so her baby could live. The baby was born on August 2nd as Susan Anne Catherine Torres and her mother was allowed to die. Sadly the struggle for life ended today when the poor child died during emergency surgery to repair a perforated intestine.

Full story here.
