Amazing. Nature is incredibly resiliant. However, I can't figure out why it is a news story today.

Allison, images like this really do force us to reexamine certain things. It changes the whole "viability" argument as well as the "when does it become human?" argument.

Patrick - I guess cause she's entering high school next week?

There's one quote in that article that was interesting - they have noticed that prematurely born boys end up being weakly kids, while prematurely born girls tend to flourish.

That little premie girl has asthma. And that's about all that is wrong with her today.

Evolutionarily speaking, which sex is more important for the survival of the species? Women, of course. It makes sense then that women are stronger as far as survival. Everyone knows us mens are physically stronger that any old girl.
