I don't know if I will be flamed for this or not. But I feel bad for these babies. I can't imagine living life like that.

why would you be flamed? I think anybody would be sad and worried.
There are however some twins in the midwest who are now teenagers in similar situation. They have had all the best our society can offer but in China the future does not look so good.

I was thinking from the pro-life movement that believes all life is precious.

I find that photo incredibly sad. I hope they survive and can live some semblance of a life.

This is sad. I read on another site that the parents, who are migrant farmers, said they didn't want to keep the babies because they didn't think they could afford to keep them alive.
