buckee Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 This is a wonderment of life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now you tell me....Who could argue with this? Don't look at the photo until you read the article.....amazing.....chill bumps and a tear. Subject: Extraordinary Handshake - read then look at photo It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably will never see it. The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas,who is being operated on by a surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta.She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb. During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via a C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on little Samuel,the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed, hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. In a Time Europe article highlighting new pregnancy imagery that shows the formation of major organs and other significant evidence of the formation of human life Dr.Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life,and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile. The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity.The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture begins, "The tiny hand of 21-week-old foetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr.Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life." Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for day when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us my pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person." Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible. The world needs to see this picture.

Jeramie Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Extraordinary Handshake That is just amazing! Only god could arrange something like that! Wonderful story and perhaps it will help detour some from using abortion as a form of birth control! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
