        When Christie Andrews was born, she weighed less that half of one kilogram. Her heart was the size
of a large coin. Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand.
        Christie couldn't breathe without a machine to give her oxygen. If she had been born 20 years earlier,
she would probable have died at once. She needed two operations, but she survived without serious damage.
        Twenty years ago, 90% of all premature (早产) babies died. Today, doctors manage to save four out
of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the babies.
        But saving Christie's life cost more than 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million saving a
single child. The parents usually don't have enough money to pay. Either the government, an insurance
company or the hospital picks up (支付) the bill.
       Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care.
       Some people think it makes more sense (更合乎逻辑) to spend money saving 10 adults who have
cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby. But nobody wants to be the doctor who has to tell
parents to their faces, " Sorry, I won't save your new child."
