Premature Baby Left to Due In UK - Government Healthcare?

Everyone needs to look at this article and think of what will happen when our medicine and our government come together.

This is disgusting! Any comments?

Update:

If the baby is breathing in the US we don't just let it die. I guess you are lucky your baby was born and lived under the UK national healthcare requirements.

    It is very sad, yes, the loss of any child is always sad.

    But what would you have them do??

    Babies born at 24 weeks don't have a much of a chance to survive, but one this young wouldn't stand a chance. It would be inhumane to put intervene.

    This happens in all countries.

    In the USA they let babies die everyday because the parents don't have the money.

    In your country you abort babies all the way up to term. How can you preach to other countries when you can selfishly take a babies life.

    I am a mum to a boy born at 24 weeks. He spent most of his first year in hospital. If he were born anywhere else but England he would not be here.

    Thank God for the NHS!!I
