As a father, the idea of being told my 1 week old baby is going to die would be my worst nightmare. The fact these doctors and scientists saved this childs life is a monument to modern medical science. This is absolutely insane. Hopefully the child doesnt need a liver transplant, but this is a great leap forward.
