Born Too Soon

Sarah Capewell says doctors at James Paget Hospital, in Great Britain, refused her prematurely born son any care because he was born 21 weeks and five days into her pregnancy. She says doctors told her they would have admitted him into a special care unit if he had been born just two days later. The Daily Mail reports that Health Service guidelines say babies should not be given intensive care if they are born at less than 23 weeks but those guidelines are not supposed to be mandatory.
