"We are a schizophrenic society. We will fly a
deformed newborn baby four hundred miles by airplane to perform a
series of remarkable operations on such a youngster, knowing full well
that the end result will be far less than perfect. While we struggle to
save the life of a three-pound baby in a hospital's newborn intensive
care unit, obstetricians in the same hospital are destroying similar
infants yet unborn."
-Dr. C. Everett Koop, MD
