Can aborted baby be saved?

Posted March 8, 2007 at 6:16 pm by Jessica

In Italy, an aborted baby fights for his life. The unborn fetus was aborted due to a false diagnosis and false interpretation of an ultrasound, but the diagnosis turned out to be incorrect and now they’re trying to save the aborted baby at 22 weeks gestation. Of course, the procedure will most likely kill him:

From Lifesite.net:

FLORENCE, Italy, March 8, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Italian doctors are struggling to save the life of a baby whom they aborted after hospital pre-natal tests misdiagnosed him as deformed, a victim of the inaccuracies of pre-natal testing, which in many cases leads to abortion.

According to The Australian, doctors from the Careggi teaching hospital in Florence told the baby’s mother that two ultrasound scans had yielded a high risk of a defective esophagus. After they had aborted the child, doctors discovered that not only was the baby’s heart still beating, but that he had been perfectly healthy before the abortion and so rushed to resuscitate him.

However, the baby aborted 22 weeks into the pregnancy and weighing a half kilogram, suffers from a brain hemorrhage incurred during the abortion and doctors doubt that he will survive.

   Darn, I thought it was a voluntary abortion with reversed decision until I read further to only find out that it was due to a mistake by doctors. In fact this is not an isolated case. From cases like this, we realize how dangerous it is to rely on people whom we think we can trust.

   Oh my God… literally… oh my God… I guess when humans play God… mistakes will happen. My prayers to the parents and the baby.
   As a mother of four. I can not imagine what the parents are going through for listening to the doctor. My heart goes out to all of them.
   This story is just awful beyond words.
