Just a few days old, Amillia Taylor is shown lying next to a ballpoint pen to show her tiny size. Amillia is the world's youngest gestational-age baby, born at 21 weeks and six days on Oct. 24, 2006. Weighing less than ten ounces and measuring only 9.5 inches in length, she is also the fourth smallest baby in the world to survive. Baby Amillia will be going home after four months in the NICU at Baptist Children's Hospital in Miami, FL. (Photo: Business Wire)
Look at this tiny baby. Not even halfway through the pregnancy, and she survived a precipitous delivery, and underdevelopment. Sure, she may suffer some disability later in life, but does that make her any less precious or human?
Is she a clump of tissue? Could you look at her and say she could have been aborted, no guilt, no questions asked?
