Is it wrong to refuse to give consent to treat a severely premature baby since the outcome is most often very poor? In my opinion it is not. If I had a premature baby at 22 weeks, after seeing what happens to these babies, I would choose to let the baby die. Sometimes what can be done is not the same as what should be done.

I worked in the NICU at our local children's hopsital. I can recall seeing babies born at 20 weeks who were eventually discharged from the hospital. They went through hell, as did their parents and caregivers, but they did leave.
Maybe I missed it, but did the mother who was having the abortion realize the baby was alive? Has she spoke anymore about this? Can you imagine how she is feeling after all of this?
