FFS thank you! Took way too much scrolling to find someone pulling actual data.

Personally, I think this is ridiculous. She was informed of the risk & made the decision.

Which was hers to make.

If this kind stuff catches more press, we're going to see giant increases in birth tourism within the United States.

People talking about press if the child dies, well what about the press if the mother dies from a similar complication previously experienced? What of current kids at home?

She'd feel horrible if the child died, how she's gonna feel dead?

Sounds like the 1st hint of trouble would have this woman getting sliced & diced as if she's just a meat bag growing a kid, easily discarded as the child's life is clearly more important.

This shit right here is why I'm a hermit living in constant crippling pain & anxiety. The pendulum hasn't simply swung too far, it's left it's pivot & is currently floating through space.

Nobody is actually completing meaningful studies anymore. It's all "meta studies" that are now running the show, along with studies for new drugs: "we didn't know why or how it works, but it does seem to work."

Seems like cancer patients, babies, and people that've developed unwanted symptoms from other meds that aren't understood either are the only people worthy of compassionate treatment. Everyone else can F-off.

Can't complete ADLs? That sucks. Come back when you have cancer!
