Baby born to brain-dead mother dies in Washington
A five week old infant, born premature after her brain-dead mother was kept on life support for three months, died after emergency surgery at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington. Susan Anne Catherine Torres Rollin Torres, 26, a NIH researcher, suffered a May stroke from melanoma. The family said the baby’s rapid deterioration followed an intestinal infection tied to extreme prematurity. The pregnancy was a race between fetal growth and maternal cancer. Funds raised exceeded $600,000 for medical bills, with any excess to cancer research and a college fund for the baby’s brother.
