The Wisdom of the Elderly

[annundriel]

Apparently there's a young woman who recently fell into a coma. I don't know when, I don't know how. She's four or five months pregnant. They're keeping her on life support so that the baby can have more of a chance of survival and they can deliver it nearer the due date.

Here's the question I was asked today. Although I'm thinking it was hypothetical. But she really meant it when she asked. I'm sure.

"I guess they'll do a C-section on her to get the baby. I suppose she can't push or do anything to help, since she's brain dead."

It was all I could do not to die laughing.
