Baby born after brain dead mother kept alive for three months

A healthy baby boy was born in Hungary after his brain dead mother was kept alive for about three months to bring him to term.

“The baby is already growing up at home, with his family. He was delivered by caesarean during the summer,” Bela Furedi, president of the Debrecen University’s medical science centre, told journalists.

“He was born in the 27th week of pregnancy. He weighed only 1.42kg but was healthy.”
