The Problem of Preventing Handicaps in Newborns

neonatologists describe the present rate of severe handicap as the price we must pay for the increase in althy survivors. Doctor john watts is the former director of the neo natal intensive care nursery at chedok mc master hospital, where jean andre leve was hospitalized. He says that the problem is trying to predict who will be handicapped and who won't. The way in which that baby is brought up is probably going to be an even more important determining factor than the problems that occur in the new born period.
