Sarah DiGregorio

“Those numbers are not very encouraging, but they are very different from 5 percent. If you are in labor at 22 weeks and your doctor says that your baby will have a 5 percent chance of survival without making it clear that the majority of those babies never got any potentially lifesaving treatment, then you, as a parent, might be less likely to push for treatment. In other words, citing unencouraging statistics, in turn, creates more unencouraging statistics.”
