This is the saddest story I have heard recently. This couple's baby is going to be born without a brain. They decided to go on with the pregnancy for the sake of others in need! :love_heart: This woman is remarkable!:love_heart:

In literally the worst moment of her life, finding out her baby was going to die, it took her less than a minute to think of someone else.​
"I looked at her laying there, her belly big with our daughter kicking away, a daughter that won't live more than a few days, and it just overwhelmed me of how incredible this woman is. ... I thought back to the moment where we found out Eva wasn't perfect, and how literally 30 seconds after our doctor told us our baby doesn't have a brain, somehow through full body ugly crying, Keri looked up and asked, 'If I carry her full term, can we donate her organs?' I remember our doctor putting her hand on Keri's shoulder and saying, 'Oh honey, that's so brave of you to say.' Like, how nice of you, but come on. Keri meant it. There I was, crestfallen and heartbroken, but I momentarily got lifted out of the moment and just stood in awe of her. I was a spectator to my own life, watching a superhero find her superpowers. In literally the worst moment of her life, finding out her baby was going to die, it took her less than a minute to think of someone else and how her selflessness could help. It's one of the most powerful things I've ever experienced."

I think she is an amazing loving woman. Facing her own heartache she thought of others. I wish the world was filled with more wonderful people like this woman .

She is unbelievably selfless.
 

That is so sad.

My little sister had a still birth because the baby was placenta praevia and died in utero. It was a terrible experience for her and everyone who loved her.

I really admire the way this young woman has decided to bring some good from her tragic situation.

I admire her, too. So sorry about the loss of your niece.

Yes!
