"By this you imply that because the mother is "dead" --not because she has cancer-- that it is nearly impossible for the baby to have a good outcome."

OK, then I'll point out what else should be obvious -- I meant to emphasize the cancer, and if you look at the end of that paragraph I did indeed mention it. The woman's whole body is being attacked and poisoned by cancer.

As I said in my posts, there is a percentage of these children who grow up to be "normal" with no severe problems, but it's certainly not exaggerating to say almost all -- if not all -- face a terrible uphill struggle. During the first month every single day is touch and go. There are miracles and we should celebrate every one of them, but they are most certainly the exception, not the rule.

Are you a doctor?

If not, how do you know the "percentage" of children who grow up to be "normal" after being born of comatose women with cancer?

There. Thank you.

This family needs our prayers. I'm in.
