From the headline I thought it was a situation where she was brain dead and it was 6 months in and the foetus only needed a little while longer to become viable and, so long as she wanted the child, they could maybe have kept it going until they could prepare for all the necessary care a severely premature baby would need. 9 weeks though?! That's absurd. That's just pigheaded stupidity!
Someone should sneak in and pull the plug, or the family should withdraw consent to treatment or something (I don't know the laws).
