Description
The pregnancy of Adriana Smith, a woman from Georgia, US, is the focus of an ongoing medical ethics controversy. Following a medical emergency in February 2025, Smith was declared brain dead but continuing fetal cardiac activity was detected. According to the family, the hospital stated that ending Smith's life support would violate Georgia's abortion law. Therefore, at 9 weeks gestation, Smith was kept on life support to allow sufficient fetal development for delivery; the family had no choice in the matter.
