Doctors Save Premature Baby Using Sandwich Bag

Born 14 weeks early, Lexi Lacey owes her life to some MacGyver inspired doctors and a sandwich bag. Lexi was so small at birth that even the tiniest insulating jacket was too big, but she fit into a plastic sandwich bag nicely. ''The doctors told us they had never known a baby born as prematurely as Lexi survive. She was so tiny the only thing they had to keep her body temperature warm was a sandwich bag from the hospital canteen — it's incredible to think that saved her life," says her mom.

Premature birth is not a genetic condition so thers is no eugenics risk to saving premature babies:

There is only some additional costs at time of birth and risk of some health problems later in life that are also non-genetic.
