NYTimes discusses the treatment of meningomyelocoel as "playing God"...
And they note most cases are now aborted...duh..remember this next time you read about the need for partial birth abortion...
Medical discussion HERE
The article says whether or not to treat, ask them in twenty years...but doesn't mention that most of us docs HAVE patients twenty years old who were born with this problem--and a lot of them have web pages!... You see, these kids now are adults, often with their own lives and families......80 percent have "normal" IQ...and many end up on dialysis by age 40...because of neurogenic bladder and kidney infections...
Hmm...wonder why the NYT doesn't bother to tell the other side of the story????
