We've gone back 173 years. This is something that we cannot have. In 2002, my wife went into early pregnancy preeclampsia at 27 and a half weeks. Through science and through medicine, We were able to keep little Lizzie going until she was born at 36 weeks. But the thing is this, we wanted more children. And I'll never forget the OB looked my wife and I in the eye and he said, you know what, don't take the risk. (44:23–44:29)
