Default Baby Iver Fund

There is a woman in Victoria that is brain-dead and pregnant and is being kept on life support until the baby is developed enough to be birthed via C-Section.

http://www.cheknews.ca/?bckey=AQ~~%2...=3148084115001

The interview with the Husband of the woman currently in the hospital is heart-wrenching.

Here is a story where there is a legitimate victim that deserves a "Hand-Up".

Similar in that both women were young and pregnant and suffered a life ending event. Very different in many other ways though - Ms Munoz's husband was forced by a very ridiculous law in her state, to keep her on life support, when he and her family just wanted to let her go. In this situation in Victoria, the husband made the choice to keep her on life support, he wasn't forced to.

What a terrible and difficult situation for this family.

A friend of mine knows this couple. Some heartbreaking ####. Couldn't imagine going through what this guy is going through.

I heard his interview yesterday on my drive home from work. I nearly cracked. That was the saddest, saddest story I have ever heard. Listening to him was heart-wrenching.
