Adriana Smith, 30, died from brain clots after initial hospital misdiagnosis. Despite being declared brain dead, she remains on life support due to Georgia's fetal heartbeat law, which prevents abortion after a heartbeat is detected. Smith is 21 weeks pregnant, and doctors plan to deliver the baby at 32 weeks. Her mother, April Newkirk, criticizes the law, arguing that the family should have the right to decide Smith's fate, raising concerns about the baby's health and the financial burden.
