“This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family。”Justin Torres,the woman’s brother-in-law。said In a statement.
Susan Torres,a cancer—stricken,26-year-old researcher at the National institutes of Health,suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma(黑瘤)spread to her brain.
Her family decided to keep her alive to give her foetus(胎儿)a chance.It became a race between the foetus’development and the cancer that was destroying the woman’s body.

Dr Donna Tilden-Archer,the hospital’s director of neonatology(新生儿学),described the child as “very vigorous.”She said the baby had responded when she received stimulation,indicating she was healthy.
Doctors removed Torres from life support early Wednesday with the consent of her husband,Jason Torres,after she received the final sacrament(圣礼)of the Roman Catholic Church.
“We thank all of those who prayed and provided support for Susan,the baby and our family。”Jason Torres said in a statement.“We especially thank God for giving US little Susan.My wife’s courage will never be forgotten.”
English—language medical literature contains at least 11 cases since 1979 0f irreversibly brain-damaged women whose lives were prolonged for the benefit of the developing foetus,according to the University of Connecticut Health Center.
