The whole idea of fetal surgery is that
many of these babies have conditions
which are life-threatening and by the
time they're born, there's nothing that
can be done for them. The only
opportunity that you would have to
change the natural history of that
condition is to operate before they were born.
Allow the baby to recover so that
by the time they get to the nursery,
they're a very different baby.
