Making the cut at 25 weeks/ 8.6 ounces

A pair of baby twins were delivered by cesarean section after 25 weeks gestation due to the mother developing high blood pressure during pregnancy. The smallest baby at the time weighed only 8.6 ounces. That is about twice as much as my cell phone. What makes this baby any different now that if it were still in the womb? Is it breathing on it's own? Probably not. The lungs don't develop until very late in the pregnancy. Not much has changed from this girl's life living outside the womb, and the life being contained inside the womb. Really nothing. She continues to develop much as she would have inside the mother. They still feel pain. The little girls did go through an important, but relatively uneventful procedure to be removed from the mother Would it be acceptable to "selectively reduce" the child that is most likely not to survive, so that attention and resources can be focused on the "healthy child?" Just being removed from the mother's womb now distinguishes this little girl from other baby girls that still may be in the womb. Being removed now makes it a worthy life. Being removed now grants it protection under the law. This little girl as made the cut and is not subject to the 1 in 4 choice that would have ended her life. Even though many of her friends that were conceived the very same day or even after may still not make it.
