1. What should be done now for Janet and her parents, and on what
grounds?
I would suggest for her parents to meet and seek advices from
lawyer or health care proxy who’s more knowledgeable on this
issue. The decision is in her parent’s hand, but I think Janet’s will
can be overruled. I believe that her wishes should be fulfilled, but
with her current condition (pregnant), I’m no longer know what she
want to do. Her fetus could stay if Janet’s parent agrees to keep her
alive until the baby’s born with the advancement in technology.
2. What values underlie the statute making a pregnant woman’s
healthcare treatment declarations of “no effect” while pregnant?
“No Effect” means the law in your state does not allow your
document directing health care to take effect when you are
pregnant. The values underlie it is that the fetus (unborn baby)
unable to make decisions on her/his own. Thus, it is important to
overrule the will.
3. Do you agree or disagree with this statute, and on what grounds?
I agree with the statute on the ground of the fetus (unborn baby) is
a potential person and do have the right to life.
4. What decision would you be making as Janet’s parental surrogate,
and why?
Thinking of their relationship, I would probably keep the baby alive.
It’s their grandchild and imagine how happy Janet’s was when she
sends the text messages would be one of the reasons to keep the
baby. Whatever it is, the baby is Janet’s child and their heir.
5. Ought someone to be a surrogate for Janet’s fetus, or not? And why
or why not?
Surrogacy could be one of the preferable solution for Janet’s
parents. It is a win-win situation to keep the baby alive, as well as
fulfilling Janet’s request.
