Brain-dead woman could deliver baby soon

Susan Torres, a cancer victim, was 15 weeks pregnant when she was declared brain-dead. Her husband decided to keep her on life support, in the slim hope that their baby would survive - and it looks like she will. She has just passed the 25-week mark, which gives baby an excellent chance of survival if born now. Doctors plan a c-section as soon as any of her organs start to fail.
