"Life At The Intensive Care Nursery" IS worth it.

I just got done commenting on "Life At The Intensive Care Nursery" -- which, while otherwise well-done, made the obnoxious mistake of asking whether it's "worth it" to even try saving disabled or sick infants when many of them will be permanently disabled.

 

All I can say is: if you have the time, do read, and let the author/public know here in the comments that being disabled in itself typically doesn't mean having no/low quality of life.

 

It'd be nice if reporters made half a fricking effort to ASK those of us that live with permanent disabilities whether we think it's worth living our lives or if we'd rather have died at birth.  :-/
