According to Lostpedia: "He [Christian Shephard] introduced himself formally to Claire as her father, and he suggested, reluctantly, that she be taken off life support, since there was no hope of her recovering or ever leading a normal life again. Claire decided that she could not go through with it, and Carole was kept alive for many years. She was still in the coma when Claire became pregnant and boarded Oceanic Flight 815."
I /love/ Lost! Any theories? Which episode has aired in the UK?
