Vicki Forman gave birth to Evan and Ellie, weighing just a pound at birth, at twenty-three weeks\' gestation.
Her daughter died just four days later; her son survived and was indeed multiply disabled: blind, nonverbal, and depend.
However, California law demanded resuscitation.
During the delivery she begged the doctors to "let her babies go" -- she knew all too well that at twenty-three weeks they could very well die and, if they survived, they would face a high risk of permanent disabilities.
