Yes?: Is there some reason why you, of all people, wouldn't have some input?

Input yes: Survival at 23 weeks is rare& the options for care are limited.Much is determined by the location of delivery, available resources and personnel. Breathing tubes are often too large to fit a newborn this size, so care is difficult even if the kid is a fighter. In a high level center most would support as long as possible, but not start painful procedures.
