Sickening.

Haven’t you heard, though, it’s NICE.

When did British doctors become savages?

When they became employees of the Labour (socialist) Party.

The doctors don’t make the rules - they would have probably been at risk of losing their jobs for wasting too many resources if they tried to support this baby. Put the blame where it lies, and see the face of what rationed health care will look like when our Marxists have their way. Doctors have been virtually locked out of the current debate.

I gave birth to twin girls in 1988 - they were due on September 21st and were born July 7, 2009.

Rebecca, 1 pound 8 oz. at her birth, died four weeks after she was born.

Rebecca, 2 pounds 11 oz. at her birth, is now 21 years old and doing quite well, thank you!

Born at Kaiser Permanente, Oakland, California.

They did all they could to save the girls. You wouldn’t believe the tiny little babies that are in that Intensive Care Unit — Rebecca was not the smallest, by far!

Having worked in a NICU for many years....I have some experience here.

We had a "rule" that a baby less than 25 weeks, or less than 450 grams in weight was probably not viable.

And usually those babies that met those two "rules" were stillborn with no signs of life.

I did attend a couple births that the baby cried and we did what we do. We tended to them.....with the best care possible to them.

I personally many years ago had a baby born at 22 weeks....that was stillborn. It happens.....And it still hurts my heart to even think about it.....

FWIW-

This would certainly be acceptable in Obama’s Death-care plan, based on his opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.

It seems that Winston Churchill and all the Tommies who fought between 1939 and 1945 wasted their time and, in some cases, their lives. They should have just surrendered to Hitler, whose Aktion T4 program would have handled this baby and other forms of Lebensunwertes Leben (life unworthy of living) the same way.

This is heartbreaking, I cannot believe it. I hope this is not what Obambi wants to do to us.

In a case like that, violence would be entirely justified against a doctor acting so barbarically. To the extent it takes to force him to treat the child. Too bad she was probably not in any condition dish it out.

And another concern, the 2 day margin is outside the margin of accuracy. Who’s to say their estimate of the infants age that accurate?

During 3rd year of medical school while rotating through the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit rotation (only my 2nd clinical rotation up until that point), I participated in the birth of a pair of twins. One of the twins had severe malformations including microcephaly, meningomyelocele, cleft lip cleft palate, and a club foot. The couple chose to carry the pregnancy to full term in order to save the normal twin. Right after the delivery I was instructed by the chief resident to take the deformed twin into another room so as to not allow the parents to see him. As I held this beautiful child in my arms and gently rocked him, like I had my youngest sister and all of my nieces and nephew, I sang him a lullaby that mother used to sing. I then baptized him with the tap water from the faucet in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, knowing that his Muslim parents would not. With the stethescope hanging from my ears, I held this child until his last breath and heart beat faded. It saddened me that this baby died in the arms of a stranger and not his parents. His body was taken to the morgue without his parents ever seeing him. From then on, I vowed never again to let another newborn infant die on my watch without intervening.

Fast forward 20 yrs. later...Few months ago, my ER nurses and I successfully resuscitated a 21 weeker crack baby who was gray, ashen, pulseless and apneic when we delivered him. He's doing well, alive and growing without any deficits. Truly a miracle. We are a culture of life, and rationing of care is not why I went into medicine. We went all out to save this kid and our prayers were answered. What's a $2 million dollars hospital bill anyway in the grand scheme of things? Chump change compare to our federal deficits.

So the rules regarding the life or death of premies have been establlish by a panel.

That sounds so familiar.
