Web Exclusive Audio: Ginger Millermon (pt. 2)

The doctors told Joel and Ginger Millermon that it would take a miracle for their premature baby, Jarrott, to survive. "And if he survives, he will have no quality of life." They held a conference with the doctors who all agreed, with tears in their eyes, "You should take him off the ventilator and let him die." The young parents had some hard questions, "Is he brain dead?" and the doctors replied, "No there's a lot of activity still." What would YOU do? Listen to hear the 2nd part of this 4-part series.

Hear the beginning of the story about the Millermon twin sons, Jarrott and Brennan, who were delivered 10 weeks early.

Come back next week to hear Part 3, and what Ginger and Joel have learned about the sanctity of human life and about the Author of Life.
