He was born early. But he was born within a safe range of premature.

It is fortunate, I think, that nature is not bounded by human reason and by laboratory work and experimentation, for by the laws of pure reason and by microscopic investigation, it might easily have been proved, long before this, that children could not be born.

Anybody who knows about having a premature baby, it's horrific. He was part of a twin, and I lost his sister.

With longer life spans and better health and education, many feel that giving birth to a baby a mere couple of decades after they themselves were in the cradle is a little premature.

Birth was something that came quite unexpectedly, and afterwards there was one child more in the house.

When my babe was born, they said it was premature. It weighed only four pounds; but God let it live.

I didn't know how babies were made until I was pregnant with my fourth child.

All human beings are, in fact, born with dozens of mutations their parents lacked, and a few of those mutations could well be lethal if we didn't have two copies of every gene, so one can pick up the slack if the other malfunctions.

Soon it will be a sin of parents to have a child that carries the heavy burden of genetic disease. We are entering a world where we have to consider the quality of our children.

After I got married, the first child born to us was mentally handicapped.
