[quote=Anonymous]At 20w a baby/fetus cannot survive outside the womb. At 28w a baby has a 90%+ chance of survival. Before spending a few months in the NICU with my DD I might not have felt this way, but now when I read this post I just imagine my own daughter, who was born breathing on her own, being denied the very simple things she needed to live (a warm environment, an NG tube, some supplemental o2). If you gave birth to a pink, breathing 2lb baby, would your really say-well, I don't think we're going to the hospital, this baby wasn't meant to live, and anyway going back and forth to the NICU would really be a hassle? How is it okay for a woman not to bring a 28w preemie to the hospital for care, but it's not okay for a mom to throw a full term infant in a trashcan? In both cases the child will likely live a healthy life with care, but will die without care. [/quote]
