I have worked in Children’s hospitals, and part of my job duties required me to be in close contact with Intensive Care Neonates who were surviving all sorts of illnesses and defects, some brought on by Prematurity, others at times addicted to drugs introduced during pregnancy, both therapeutic, and illicit. I know first hand about the struggles and heartaches these infants bring into a families life. I have witnessed tremendously powerful human dramas as families and professionals work diligently to preserve these little one’s lives, and not always succeeding. The challenges these children face from the get go are tremendous, but for this little blessing, although there will be many battles, she won’t be facing them alone. The right to determine her future was made by two loving devoted parents, full of hope and faith, in spite of insurmountable odds. I guess I look at it as an inspirational reflection of how powerful love is, and not as a misuse of modern medical paradigms. IMHO.
