I’m guessing that there is some information missing here.
I carried twins, and their is a condition called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.

Sometimes if they don’t abort one, you will lose both.
I prayed that didn’t happen to me because I would hate to make that kind of decision.
In the other article, it said the sick twin had a very severe heart defect that would require multiple surgeries and he still might not survive. I don’t think TTTS causes heart defects? And a heart defect doesn’t put the other twin at risk.
And even if TTTS were the problem here, at 32 weeks, you can just deliver both babies.
At 32 weeks, they could have delivered them both by section and they would have no longer been sharing blood. My daughter was delivered at 33 weeks and was perfectly healthy.
I was toxemic.
