Yeah but in this case the hospital staff were reading life from the unborn fetus and hadn't correctly accessed the risk to the mother.
They thought the child might live and the mother wouldn't die.
In the end they both died, the mother in pain.
That's not how I understand it, thought I could be wrong. The hospital staff were required to keep the child alive if the fetus's heart is still beating, regardless of risk to the mother. The policy is that the mother and child have an equal right to life. Because they failed to take into account the health of the mother, both died.
