Recently, we’ve all read stories from around the world about nuclear meltdowns, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes. Needless to say they’re scary, heart wrenching and terrible. But for me a story published yesterday is scarier. A story in the UK’s Daily Mail says that doctors turned their backs on a premature baby born at 22 weeks despite the mother begging for help and the baby struggling for life for 46 minutes.
You see, the baby was born 12 days too early to receive care, according to hospital rules. 12 days. So they turned their backs and walked out of the room.

The bottom line is money. What kind of a world are we living in? We have got to start realising how precious and valuable life is. Unfortunately, the more the world moves away from God, the more it moves toward making money its idol. Poor little child, may you rest in peace.

If I recall correctly, there was a blog a year or so ago from a mother whose baby was born one day before the care-for cut-off and her baby was left to die. That was in this country. So it's not just in England that this policy is followed. It's horrendous but not newsworthy here. lois in Indy
