This baby is just a fetus (this was there excuse). Two days too early for being called human. Despite the desperate pleas of the mother they doctors refused to help and they let the baby die without help.
No drugs were given to allow the baby to make it to the crucial line toward “human hood”. Is this the health care that the President says is the model. Now we understand. Draw a line and let them die. Does it really matter if the line is 2 days too early for birth or 2 days too old and ready to be removed from society?
But doctors refused her desperate pleas to place him in intensive care because medical guidelines state that under 22 weeks a baby is a foetus and does not qualify for intensive care treatment.
Doctors refused to even see Jayden, who lived without support for almost two hours before passing away.
Miss Capewell had complications with Jayden’s pregnancy and did not understand why midwives told her “We just have to get you to 22 weeks”.
Because the pregnancy had not yet reached 22 weeks Miss Capewell was not given drugs to delay the labour or help mature her baby’s lungs.
