A couple has decided to continue with the woman’s pregnancy to full term despite knowing that the baby would not be able to survive long after birth so that they can help save multiple lives through organ donation. Keri Young and her husband Royce of Oklahoma had found out that their unborn second child – a girl – has a fatal condition called anencephaly at 19 weeks.
The parents were heartbroken after the scan showed that the baby, who had an otherwise perfect body, would not have a normally developed brain. They are now chronicling the pregnancy on social media in order to share their story with the world.
Keri and Royce have named their unborn daughter Eva. Their brave decision has resonated with many people online.
