Holding Hands...

This picture is remarkable. The hand of a 21 week old fetus clasping the finger of a surgeon trying to save his life. I don't know how anyone could every support abortion. And, I definitely do not see how anyone could support it after seeing this amazing photo.

The baby at 21 weeks could have legally be aborted. Luckily, the mother carried for this little one. The 21 week old fetus went through a spinal operation in order to save it from serious brain damage. Baby Samuel Armas has spina bifida, which lead to his spinal cord not developing properly. A talent surgeon and staff performed surgery on the fetus through a slit in the womb. The surgery was very risky because the fetus would not be able to survive outside the womb if anything went wrong. Luckily the surgery was a success.

Baby Samuel had "not yet felt the touch of his mother's skin against his own and he knew nothing of life outside her womb. But perhaps Samuel Alexander Armas will be able to shake Dr. Bruner's hand again".

His mother and father decision not to abort the birth led a miracle. Samuel was born on December 2, 1999. Below is a picture of Baby Samuel, from 2003, at 3 1/2 years old. The miracles that science and love can bring when used together are incredible.
