Mother, doctors celebrate their failure to murder baby
From the London Daily Mail...
Mrs Jones decided to let doctors operate to terminate Gabriel's life.
Woman holding frightened baby she had doctors attempt to murder. Firstly they tried to sever his umbilical cord to cut off his blood supply, but the cord was too strong.
They then cut Mrs Jones's placenta in half so that when Gabriel died, it would not affect his twin brother.
But after the operation which was meant to end his life, tiny Gabriel had other ideas.
Although he weighed less than a pound, he put up such a fight for survival that doctors called him Rocky.
Astonishingly, he managed to carry on living in his mother's womb for another five weeks - until the babies were delivered by caesarean section.
Now he and Ieuan are back at home in Stoke - and are so close they are always holding each other's hand.
Mrs Jones, 35, a financial adviser whose husband Mark, 36, is a car salesman, said: "It really is a miracle. Doctors carried out an operation to let Gabriel die - yet he hung on.
"It was unbelievable."
What's unbelievable is that this woman would allow herself to be photographed, smiling no less, holding the child she had just attempted to murder. Do people know no shame anymore?
