    Stem cell patch surgery to mend spina bifida in the womb
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-63155654

    US doctors say they have successfully carried out surgery on babies in the womb to repair harmful spine defects using a special, therapeutic stem cell patch method.

    I find this impressive and up-lifting.

      This is a horrible condition, and I've taken care of more newborns with it (albeit only for a few hours) than I'd like to remember.

      Hoping it works out.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        POTD, Ax. I know families who have been afflicted with this horrible condition. If the child lives it's still a lifetime burden on the whole family.

          Considering the position of the original poster, wouldn't it be easier just to kill 'em?
