Stacy Rajas was a 34 year old teacher who was expecting her first child. Six months into her pregnancy she suffered a brain aneurysm, and went into a coma. She was declared brain dead the next day. The doctors kept her alive to carry the baby she wanted. On May 11, 2007, 3pound 3 ounce Zoe Sofia was born by ceacarean. Her mom was taken off life support 48 hours later, and her vital organs donated.

My sympathies to her husband Marcus as well as my blessings on the birth of his new baby daughter.
