I read the following story in different German newspapers:
Goettingen, Germany – A baby weighing just 275 grams has been born in Germany and survived, the lowest weight for a viable birth of a boy ever recorded, doctors said Thursday. Doctors normally assume that survival is impossible at birth weights below 350 grams.
The little boy was born in June last year in the 25th week of pregnancy, said Stefan Weller, a spokesman for the University of Goettingen Hospital. He spent six months in intensive care and was finally discharged in December after growing to 3.7 kilograms.
Weller said doctors had checked every available record worldwide of premature births and found no viable birth at a lower weight.

In The Netherlands, abortion is legal until 24 weeks of pregnancy. So the difference between ‘a person whose life is worth it to be saved’ and ‘a bunch of cells which can be aborted’ is just one week in this case. Am I the only person who thinks this is mind-boggling?

Today the Church remembers the SS. Holy Innocents. We remember the Jewish infants born in Bethlehem around the same date our Saviour was born and who king Herod ordered to be killed. He was thinking that when he would kill all baby boys, he would save his own crown. He didn’t realise that Jesus’ Kingdom wasn’t a kindom of this world. And apart from that: Joseph and Mary already left Bethlehem after Jesus was born, so this slaying of infants, infanticide was totally unnecessary. It’s very hard to tell how many children lost their lives. Bethlehem isn’t a big city, so the estimates range from a couple dozen to several hundred. It also may sound strange that the Catholic Church venerates Jewish children. But it’s not that odd after all. According to the Church, those children are witnesses of Christ. They died because of Christ, and because of that they will be glorified because of Christ. That’s what the word ‘martyr’ means: a witness.
Important: The following post contains very graphic images of a surgery on a fetus and a picture of an aborted child. You might not want to show this to kids.
