No, I'm not in favor of it. I myself was a preemie, very early. But I just saw a report online the other day that mentioned that babies who are born earlier than 22 weeks (as the cutoff) should not be given medical treatment to be kept alive, because their chances for survival are so minute that if they do live they would have severe disabilities. That saddens me, and also makes me wonder why it is that we've been hearing about more and more premature babies. Is it the prevalence of drugs? Inhaled chemicals from our environment? Diet? Whatever it is, more and more people seem to have stories about premature babies and how their children were in the hospital for months before able to come home (if ever).
If I'm not mistaken, from what I read, the report also stated that if a woman might be going into labor earlier than 22 weeks, they would try to abort the pregnancy. If you're wondering, this was a report from England. So this way of thinking was not American-based. Surprised? I was too.
I guess what it all comes down to is this: there is no guarantee about anything in this life.
