This is a toughie. Very few of the "donor twin" make it. They can diagnose this problem in utero and then the parents have the agonizing decision of which twin should be saved--many times if they try to save one, they both die. Is very sad. I hope that little guy makes it.


as an aside--i cannot imagine having to decide between two offspring OR endure that both may die. This is human sadness at it's apex.
