The ‘miracle baby’ born in Lisbon to a brain-dead mother is out of intensive care and has a name, Lourenço Salvador.
Sandra Pedro, the mother he will never know, has been allowed to die and has been buried by her family, leaving Lourenço’s future in the hands of his father and grandparents. Sandra had been diagnosed with kidney cancer and suffered a catastrophic drop in blood pressure leading to a brain haemorrhage.
