“60 Minutes is alongside severely brain-damaged teenager Genesis as she gives birth to a healthy baby.
She was a notorious teenage tearaway whose life was wrecked by a car crash. Genesis ended up severely brain-damaged, unable to feed herself or talk, barely able to move. She was also pregnant. As she lay in hospital in Christchurch, she was carrying a passenger, another young life.
Genesis has now given birth and her baby is alive and kicking.  60 Minutes reporter Amanda Millar has been following the progress of both mother and child.
Amanda and her camera crew were there on Mother's Day as Genesis and her little boy went home to the child's grandmother, Heather, who has no doubt the decision to proceed with the birth was the right one.” Publicity
