• 🩺 Doctors suggest the child may be born blind and unable to walk, with uncertain survival prospects even after 32 weeks.
• 🏛️ The speaker criticizes the government's involvement, calling it "creepy" and an example of politicians imposing their "god complexes" and personal beliefs on families during trauma.
