In this episode, our guest Lynne Machado discusses a little-known law in Texas that forbids hospitals from disconnecting life support from a patient who is pregnant. Lynne’s daughter, Marlise, died in 2013 while she was fourteen weeks pregnant. She was, at the time, declared brain dead. This little-known law was invoked and, against the wishes of her family; and those of Marlise as stated in her DNR, Marlise was put on life support.

The family, showing that she was no longer a patient for having met the legal definition of death, went to court to have their daughter removed from life support. Join us for this difficult, yet fascinating story which has now become the subject of a documentary film, “62 Days.”

62 Days can be streamed at http://worldchannel.org/programs/episode/reel-south-62-days until July 16, 2018.

There will also be viewings in:
•Dallas: Monday, July 23rd 2018, Alamo Drafthouse- Cedars
•Houston: Tuesday, July 24th 2018, Rice Media Center
•Austin: Thursday, July 26th 2018, Alamo Drafthouse – Mueller
