Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1363637/Babies-born-23-weeks-left-die-\ says-NHS-chief.html#ixzz1Fw0RiK37 Some quotes: " But despite round-the-clock care from teams of experienced doctors and nurses, just 9 per cent leave hospital – the rest die. And only one in 100 grows up without some form of disability. The most common include blindness, deafness and cerebral palsy. Guidelines state that doctors should not try to resuscitate babies born under 22 weeks, as they are too underdeveloped, but those born between 22 and 25 weeks should routinely be given intensive care.
