[A rare content warning: The procedure described in this post is not for the faint of heart. HGS]
Britain's Much Vaunted National Health System© has a sordid history of baby-killing (most recently here), but these are children that have at least been born. This item, which I took a long time considering whether to even post, is egregious even by MVNHS© standards:
"A premature baby was decapitated inside his mom's womb when a doctor in Scotland detached his body from his head during a botched birth."
On the one hand, this is tragic, but it's probably very difficult to get just the right amount of force. And had the process stopped there, this would have been a horrible mistake, but at least understandable.
What happened next, though, is indefensible, and underscores the complete lack of compassion (let alone oversight) rampant in such national health "care" schemes:
"[T]he first-time mom was then forced to undergo a C-section to remove the head — which was sewn onto the tot's body so she could hold him and say goodbye."
The Political Hat (who tipped us to this travesty) paraphrased it thus: "Sorry I killed your baby, but here... I sewed its head back on so you can give it a kiss before we throw it in the furnace."
Indeed.
