A child alive today will die tomorrow. A baby that had the potential to be the

next Einstein will die from complication is at birth. The circumstances of life are

not set in stone. We are not all meant to live life through to old age. We’ve grown

those years aren’t lived out, it's a tragedy. A tragedy because a human’s potential

was

never

realized.
