In today's America, political controversy rages over when—or whether—legal protections should begin for children in the womb.
The arguments are intense, and tend to focus on milestone events in fetal development, like the onset of the child's brainwaves, heartbeat, or capacity to feel pain. At the same time, however, developments in fetology and prenatal medicine are pressing strongly for recognition of the baby as a patient in his or her own right ever earlier in pregnancy.The march of science has proceeded in a life-affirming direction.
Early intervention increases the chance that the child's heart is better developed at birth, and in no need of further intervention.In another procedure, fetal surgeons were able to repair a rare fatal blood vessel disorder called a 'vein of Galen malformation' that was causing severe abnormal blood flow in one baby's brain. This child had a very high risk of heart failure, severe brain injury, and even death if the doctors had waited and performed standard treatment after birth.
