"for they know not what they do"

Reed and I talked about what we would do if either of my pregnancies ended with a very premature labor. It was an quick discussion with the unsaid words floating over our heads,
"...I hope it never happens."

I found similar thoughts when reading a post by a neonatal intensive care unit nurse who gives insight into the conditions in which the extremely premature babies are subjected to.

Which brings on the question, what is better? To be forced to live or to be given comfort and peace?
