1. It's a difficult situation to make decision between their daughter 's wish and life of the baby. As it is a legal issue now , the parents should take consultation from the court about what to do in such conditions whether they should go with her daughter's wishes or save the child .
2. It's the matter of life . Nothing is big enough than life or giving birth to a new life . I agree with this statute making a pregnant woman's healthcare treatment declaration of "no effect "while pregnant because the baby is had doesn't done anything then why should we harm it , it is innocent .
3. As Janet's parental advocate , i would advice them to continue life support ,by this they would be saving the life of the baby and going against the wishes of their daughter will not be a big issue when on the other side you are saving a life .
4. Yes , someone will be posted to act as advocate for Janet's fetus ,who will take decision for the baby on behalf of their parents .
