Wonders will never end in the world!

And yet, another wonder has happened as United Kingdom’s doctors successfully operated on an unborn baby whom they were forced to remove from the womb of the mother before initiating the procedure.

Medical technology applications at University College London Hospital helped the doctors to detect development of a spinal deformity at just 24 weeks of gestation.

Only four UK women have received this groundbreaking surgery, and Bethan Simpson is one of the lucky women.Most of babies born with this condition, spina bifida, are aborted before they get a chance at life outside the womb.

Simpson posted on Facebook saying that she opted for surgery after a 20-week checkup that revealed a condition that negatively affects the child’s ability to walk.

“Our lives were such a roller-coaster for the next few weeks. We were offered continuing pregnancy, ending pregnancy or a new option called fetal surgery – fixing her before she is born. We had to do it,” Simpson wrote.

The surgery took several hours. But doctors managed to take Simpson’s daughter back in her mother’s womb and she will be born later this year.

Spina bifida often times leads to early death, while some parents prefer to entirely reject and condemn such pregnancies to abortion.

This medical breakthrough comes at a time when there is an intense debate on abortion that has provided one of the most noxious, disturbing, and unending of all moral and legal struggles.

There has been a contentious debate of, of course, moral status of the foetus and the interpretation of ‘human life.’
