YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"A Texas man who wants his pregnant wife removed from life-support is being thwarted by hospital officials who insist that Texas law states they must continue to care for her.
Under Texas law, "[a] person may not withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment under this subchapter from a pregnant patient." Crucially for this case, the law does not specify that the fetus be viable, only that the woman carrying her be pregnant.
When Erick Munoz found his wife, Marlise, unconscious and unresponsive on the kitchen floor in November, she was 14 weeks pregnant. Doctors suspect she had a pulmonary embolism — a blood clot that travels to the lungs — and are unsure how long the fetus went without oxygen and nutrients."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
