A young, pregnant mother will carry her terminally ill baby to term so that she can donate her organs.

We just discovered on DailyMail that Keri and Royce Young learned at the 20-week ultrasound that their second child, a daughter, has a terminal birth defect of the brain and skull.

The parents, who already have a young son, decided to carry the baby to term not only because they are pro-life, but so she could donate her daughters organs after her birth.

This Oklahoma mom is being lauded for her bravery from not just her husband, but friends on Facebook and followers all around the world.

Husband Royce Young wrote an incredibly heartfelt tribute on Facebook that has also been read by thousands.

While many of us would like to believe we would have the same strength in the same situation, it's quite another thing to demonstrate it when the time comes. 

On behalf of mothers everywhere, I want to say thank you, Keri, for your bravery and selflessness to allow your child - even in her death - to help other children live!
