I'm the patient's physician and I don't think a 30 week old fetus can survive outside of the womb.

Exactly. It essentially codifies abortion up until birth. Maybe after. “Well, it looked kind of puny, so we didn’t think it’d survive”

In other, more local news, a friend's daughter just delivered at 28 weeks. Baby weighed 2.6 pounds. As of right now, babe is doing ok in NICU.

Back in 1980, when I got into the hospital biz...

My twin nieces were just over 2 lbs each when delivered prematurely. They were in NICU for a few weeks but they did ok.

Certainly possible if you consider all sorts of fetal deformities, anll manners of genetic mutations, all sorts of things that can go wrong in a fetus’ development process, etc. See, for example, https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/24081/forced-to-carry-a-baby-to-term-with-no-kidneys

So you want the benevolent government to decide on which one is or is not viable?

You trust the benevolent government more than the individual patient and the individual doctor, is that it?

Mik

Once again, the point flies right over your head.

Language barrier.
