So brain death during pregnancy is "increasingly common" for some reason and doctors are no doubt "baffled" as to what could be causing this increase. Climate change could be behind it. Importatly, being brain dead would not stop mom from producing spike protein and delivering it to the foetus. It also would not stop her from voting Democrat. On the contrary, it could facilitate it.
You beat me to it - I was about to comment on "increasingly common" but too late you had already covered it but probably better that I would have done.
I've read of several cases where a many-years brain dead patient recovered some if not all of their faculties. I understand that the decision to take someone off life-support is complex and difficult. But I would imagine that a mother (if conscious) would choose to save the life of their baby. Even if from rape during unconsciousness, a baby is a life, and it can go on to be a beautiful creation of a 'bad' situation.
At any time someone is considered brain-dead, they are quick to extract any organ for a transplant-waiting list patient.. They cannot take an organ from a corpse (duh!). They need the patient to be alive but brain dead. Dr Alexander's story makes you think... life is life. life is not just in the brain. This should bring a very detailed ethics study. But then... they are very eager to pull out fresh organs right away. Thank God they didn't take the baby to start a new line of foetal based new cell lines for more vaxx...

I'm delighted you noticed it too and I am sure you would have covered it well.
Cynical minds think alike it seems.
So mom was brain-dead? Why? Pfizer or Moderna or J&J?
