If there are no known cases where a baby was delivered under these circumstances, on what basis do you make a claim that if it survives it will be in an abnormal condition?

"If there are no known cases where a baby was delivered under these circumstances, on what basis do you make a claim that if it survives it will be in an abnormal condition?"

On the basis that virtually every 25-week-old baby has at least temporary severe health problems. They can, of course, grow up to be normal children and adults, but up to 50 percent, according to research, have at least one moderate or severe disability. That is if they survive. Depending on the study, between 25 percent and 50 percent of 25-week-old babies die. At 23 weeks maybe 20 percent survive and at 22 weeks virtually none survive (notice I didn't say none -- a few have).
