I came across an article today that had my jaw on the floor in utter disgust.. I'll shorten the story up to spare you the feelings I felt upon reading the whole thing in great detail...
A woman in Ireland whom has been described as clinically dead is being kept alive against her families wishes simply to incubate the 16 week old fetus inside of her. Her family is slowly watching her decay and decompose while being hooked up to machines because Anti Abortion activists in Ireland are forcing this to be done.
This woman is literally dead. They have her hooked up to endless machines and wires giving her artificial life to spare a fetus that is the size of an olive. An undeveloped, mutant-esque, mindless worm is the reason why.
I came across a few points related to this in the article
1) According to the organ donor group, Donate Life, keeping the brain-dead woman n machines and ventilators are a huge risk to the fetus as this only gives the appearance of life, however, it is simply delaying the natural decay that comes with death. - The baby is being kept in a body that has the appearance of being alive, whilst decaying.
2) It is despicable and cruel. Putting the health risks of the fetus and psychological trauma to the family, watching their dead family member decompose.. it is utter cruelty to take a person whom is no longer capable of making their own decisions and making awful ones for them.
The title of this post is called #VegetableGarden because at the end, the publisher made a very strong point that stuck with me. "Women are more than vegetable gardens. When a woman suffers an unimaginable tragedy that renders her incapable of making her own decisions, those decisions are best left to medical professionals and the people who know and love her, not clergy or politicians."
