budd and all,
One of the reasons blind kids born in recent years have so many
more problems is that very early premature babies are being saved
more and more.

these very early kids are even more subject to multiple handicaps
caused simply by being so early.

so it is not all just inventing more names for problems.

I've talked to a number of neo-natal specialists who have serious
ethical difficulties with saving babies so early along in
development because   Many of them have really severe multiple handicaps.

But then some of them come out fine and have good lives.

It's a truly hard thing to decide, and of course no good doc ever
actually decides not to save a kid if it can be done.
