Birth Control Controversy: The Tragic Story of Brittany Malone

Brittany Malone was a healthy 22-year-old woman when she suddenly developed a blood clot in her right thigh, which traveled into her lungs causing a pulmonary embolism that left her brain dead. After extensive medical testing on her and her family members, Brittany's parents, Dana and Joe, believe that her death was caused by the hormonal contraceptive vaginal ring she was prescribed.
