Anthony Lara and Julie Crampin discovered through a prenatal scan that they were having complications to their pregnancy and that their son would live with severe disabilities, if he survived at all. Despite advice from doctors that they should terminate the pregnancy, the couple determined that they would have their son. Lara recently told the Daily Mail:
"There was never a moment when we were in any doubt that we wanted him, even if he only lived for a day. Just to have had him alive for a few hours would have been better than not giving him the chance of life."
It turns out that their son, Marco, is a real fighter! He even has a reasonable chance, after three operations, to live without any serious disabilities!
How many other children could lead normal, healthy lives if parents facing difficult pregnancies would make the courageous decision to simply give them a chance?
