S. Epatha Merkerson: Sharon Goodwin

Quotes 

• Dr. Natalie Manning : So, Teresa is approximately ten weeks along in her pregnancy.

  Angela Azen : Oh, god.

  Sharon Goodwin : Fortunately, termination will be a painless procedure.

  Angela Azen : Wait. Termination? We don't want that.

  Dave Azen : We want to keep the baby.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : I'm sorry. I thought, given the circumstances...

  Sharon Goodwin : Mr. and Mrs. Azen, nothing has to be decided today.

  Angela Azen : No, we've made up our mind. It is terrible what happened to our daughter, but even if it came from a rape, the baby's still part of Teresa.

  Dave Azen : The only part we have left.

• Sharon Goodwin : In your daughter's condition, I have to tell you, taking this pregnancy to term would be extremely difficult.

  Angela Azen : Why? Her brain has been injured, but her body's healthy.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : No. At five years in a persistent vegetative state, it's not. This is a high risk situation for pulmonary embolism, sepsis, colonic obstruction, respiratory failure.

  Dave Azen : But those are just risks, right? It could all work out.

  Sharon Goodwin : They are extremely high risks.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : If you have your daughter go through with this pregnancy, there is a chance that she will not survive.

  Angela Azen : She's hardly living as it is. If she dies giving birth, maybe that's a merciful outcome. Sometimes, I've wished for that.

  Sharon Goodwin : There is another issue to consider. Given the abuse your daughter has undergone, do you believe that she would want to keep this pregnancy?

  Sharon Goodwin : In any case, you are Teresa's guardians, and therefore speak on her behalf. Your wishes will be honored.
