PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is world-renowned for its fetal surgery in which an operation is performed on a baby still inside the womb.

Recently, in yet another historic procedure, CHOP doctors undertook a risky and delicate operation on a tiny fetal heart.

Health reporter Stephanie Stahl has the exclusive story of what it took to save an unborn baby named Juan.

[Baynative]

Yes, there are still many who do not consider a baby with a beating heart to be just a disposable inconvenience.

[fwdude]

Wait! I thought “lumps of tissue” didn’t have hearts or tumors...

[laweeks]

Baby in the Womb? Is that what it is? It’s not an obligate parasite or a lump of cells?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Wow that is amazing. His heart is the size of a peanut!! On the other hand, so is Hillarys.

[john drake]

Yep, it’s not a baby, or human being, or individual made in the image and likeness of God, it is fetal tissue that can be destroyed by it’s mother up and until it’s actual birth. Baby? Nah.

True medical science, and God.

Amazing.

[snuffy smiff]

Plus cankle’s tiny heart is black and cold as outer space!

>After some setbacks, an excited family who learned they were finally going home to South America said goodbye to the team that saved their baby.

>Baby Juan and his parents, Cecilia Cella and Pablo Paladino, are headed back to Uruguay where the infant has become a celebrity.

Meanwhile, we have American Citizen Veterans dying in the streets and no meaningful healthcare.

How much did this cost and who paid for it? Can we do it for all outsiders that want to come here for it? I hear Africa needs help growing their next 7 billion citizens.

It is a sad irony that CHOP is not far from Kermit Gosnell’s house of horrors.

[beaversmom]

Right. I’ve seen some women refer to babies in the womb as tumours.

[Mase]

Wow. The result and benefit of not having a totally socialized medical system. One of the reasons we have the highest cost of healthcare in the world is because we are one of only a few countries, if not the only one, developing and perfecting this kind of live saving procedure.

We're doing our best to kiss it goodbye.

[DoughtyOne]

So much work to save a child with a medical problem, against so much effort to prevent a healthy child from going full term.

One shows the heights to which we can aspire as a people.

The other shows how low humanity can stoop.

[lee martell]

Hillary’s brain is said to be of similar dimensions.

[cpdiii]

Wow that is amazing. His heart is the size of a peanut!! On the other hand, so is Hillarys.

However her soul can not even be detected without the aid of an electron scanning microscope but her avarice can not even be measured unless one uses logarithmic notation.

[ScottinVA]

... and liberals are outraged. Riots start at 8 p.m.

[Brown Deer]

but this same baby could still be legally aborted?

[guido911]

Planned Parenthood deeply saddened by this news.

Awesome story!

On a blob of cells? On a clump of tissue? How can this be?
