A brain-dead woman kept alive artificially for more than two months gave birth to a premature baby girl, doctors at Milan's Niguard hospital said. A few hours after the Saturday birth, the machinery artificially keeping the 38-year-old woman alive was shut off.
The baby girl, born two months early, was breathing on her own Sunday, doctors said.
The baby, named Cristina after her mother, was born by emergency Caesarian section and weighed just over 1.5 pounds, the doctors told reporters.
