Of course, what they don’t tell you is that she very likely will suffer from all sort of problems and handicap (physical and/or cognitive) throughout her life. The “cost” of these, especially to the parents, are certainly not taken into account. The hotshot doctors who “saved” her are not the ones who are going yo have to deal with deals either. They’ve played their Godlike part and have left the stage….
I have to agree with him here.

Just want you to know that "Eric" is not right. My son was premature and has 0 physical/cognitive handicaps. Medical science has come a LONG way. So with that said, I disagree with him, you and the poster below his.
I understand people are born premature all the time, but this a little extreme. Glad your son is okay.
I know its a little extreme, but the baby is 25 weeks if that article is correct. Even with a few minor handicaps, I personally would rather have a live son/daughter over a dead one. Now the baby could develop major handicaps, but I've seen full term babies have the same problems.
