According to some at FR, these cllular masses were excellent sources for tissue to treat older human beings, that is, until they messed things up by surviving outside their Mother's body. Selfish things! Aren't the older humans more valuable?... what could these hospitals and doctors be thinking? How could they condemn sick people to disease when such rich cell masses can provide so much useful tissue? ... Yes, that's how some here at FR would characterize this little one and her struggle to survive (survive meaning she is already alive and surviving before birth).

And don't forget all those fiscal libertarians who would begrudge little Aaliyah's treatment saying that her likelihood of survival didn't justify her medical costs. If those hideously selfish wack-jobs had their way, medical science would never progress since innovative treatments would only be attempted on those rich enough to "waste" the money on them. Eight weeks of prematurely would still be a death sentence. Success stories like Aaliyah's are only made possible through the heroic and desperate measures of parents and medical professionals funded by contractually obligated health care providers. Even as an affluent and deeply ideological conservative, that is a price I happily to pay.
