What happens when state law overrides death itself?In this short episode, I examine the heartbreaking case of Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old pregnant nurse declared brain-dead in Georgia—yet kept on life support against her family’s wishes. Why? Because of Georgia’s strict 2019 “heartbeat law,” which grants legal rights to a fetus once cardiac activity is detected.➡️ Adriana was just 9 weeks pregnant when she suffered fatal complications. Now, her family is grieving, raising her son, drowning in medical bills—and legally powerless to say goodbye.I explore:Georgia’s abortion law and its real-life implicationsThe medical definition of brain death vs. legal obligationsThe ethical nightmare faced by doctors and familiesSystemic racial disparities in maternal healthcareBroader questions about bodily autonomy—even after death🔗 Resources Center for Reproductive Rights: https://reproductiverights.org/ACLU of Georgia: https://www.acluga.org/Local mutual aid funds supporting families in crisis📢 If this story moves you, share it, comment your thoughts, discuss it those around you, and putting contingencies in place, so it does not happen to you.
