Dr Dan,
Thank you for your sensitive and accurate portrayal of this struggle.
As for my flirting with anti-dentitism lol, the egg has been fertilized, the additional hormones prevent the implantation of the several celled fetus, thus it is expelled. At this point no differentiation has occurred. Also to C4Js point a 20 week old fetus can ABSOLUTELY NOT survive outside the woman. These poor creatures cannot survive at 26 or 27 weeks without some later neurocognitive impairment. I have seen fetuses at 19-20 weeks out side of the womb in cases of miscarriage. It is awful, I would never recommend seeing something like that. There is no way to save those babies, none...saving them doesnt worl and they are tortured with endless blood draws, needle p r ic ks (wont let me spell this normally???) AND THEY DONT LIVE. Their lungs cannot support them even with artificial surfactant. I could go on but I wont
Incidently Dr. D, I love my dentist, he is the best, does a great job, lots of novicaine, I will miss the guy when I move..and funny!
