individual who has clear-cut values and choices, a paramedic, made it obvious that she didn't want to be on life support. her husband agrees with this. the fact that their family backs them up. the state of texas is basically saying, you know, we're going to treat her as an incubator. if she was awake, she certainly wouldn't have this happening to her. she could actually have an abortion at the age of this fetus. asleep, she's being ignored. it's unethical. the law also says anybody who's pregnant from one day pregnant all the way out to where she was when she had the incident at 14 weeks, today we're at 20, that law is just too broad. it's out of control. >> has your opinion changed now that the fetus is at 20 weeks and will be even older when the decision's made? >> it's a great question, but 20 weeks isn't viable yet. this is going to have to go on to something like probably 26 weeks to get viability. even then, the child would be very premature. and remember, this woman went without oxygen for a long time, resulting in her death. the fetus was probably harmed
