Re: My Baby’s Life: Who Decides?
Julie the babies shown were premature and had breathing tubes , these have to cleaned several times a day during which times the baby cannot breathe even done quickly it was terribly distressing for them.Re: My Baby’s Life: Who Decides?
Yes but I'd still not want to make that decision. Many premature babies do survive these days, a few years ago they wouldn't have.Re: My Baby’s Life: Who Decides?
I though the doctors in the programme were kind and gentle with the parents .They themselves say that they could not make the decision for their own child and therefore it was up to them -the medics to make these hard decisions.Re: My Baby’s Life: Who Decides?
After I gave birth to my son I experienced some strange feelings, a sort of emptiness. It was like a bereavement, I missed being pregnant all down to hormones I guess.Re: My Baby’s Life: Who Decides?
Meg would it not be kinder all round to allow a tiny damaged baby who cannot even breath alone to just slip away easily after birth?Re: My Baby’s Life: Who Decides?

Re: My Baby’s Life: Who Decides?
No parent wants to lose their child and it must be heartbreaking for them, but I always think about animal mothers who seem to follow the rules of "survival of the fittest". The mothers will give more food to their strongest baby, in the hope that it will survive well when it has to fend for itself.Re: My Baby’s Life: Who Decides?
I think the decision should be taken out of the hands of the parents, it should always be what is best for the child.
