The efforts of a group of surgeons in Ohio prove that, even while residing in the womb, children are valuable human beings deserving of care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In May, a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals at the Cleveland Clinic performed a rare, complex fetal surgery to save the life of Rylan Harrison Drinnon. As the <\/span>clinic<\/span><\/a> reported in the Patient Stories section on its website, a tumor had started growing on the baby\u2019s heart and, without intervention, would have led to fetal heart failure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam Drinnon, Rylan\u2019s mother, recalled how she felt when doctors noticed something wrong with the development of her son\u2019s heart during a routine ultrasound in late April. Before the diagnosis, Drinnon\u2019s pregnancy had been relatively normal and uneventful, so the detection of a mass inside her son\u2019s heart came as a bit of a shock.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of emotions came very quickly,\u201d she said. \u201cI thought I was going to lose my baby, but the doctors said they would get me to the best team to get it taken care of.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“She calls me and tells me to go to my parents, you need to pick up Peanut and I’ll meet you there and just in her voice, I knew something was wrong. It wasn’t good,\u201d David Drinnon, Rylan\u2019s father, said in a statement published by <\/span>WFMJ-TV<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There was not a lot of information at all because he’s so rare, we were very scared,\u201d Sam remembered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If life-saving surgery can be performed on a preborn child in the womb, then surely they are ALIVE in the womb.<\/p>\n
