Would you want to save your baby if it were born very premature and would definitely have problems?

Asked by JLeslie (65465points) November 4th, 2009

I was talking to my girlfriend who is a nurse and works in a neonatal unit (NICU), and she was saying that when she was pregnant if her baby was born very early, she would not have done the extreme measures she sees done many times. She is Christian and pro-life, but does not see this as a conflict at all.

I don’t have children, but I think I would do the same thing, not take extensive measures, but realize if you have not been in the situation it would be hard to know what you would do for certain, or to judge anyone on their decision.
