The touching story of this family helps us pause to consider the beauty of life–even when it is tragically cut short. On a relevant note, it’s worth the time to clarify that the unborn children discussed in this video were not actually angels. They were human beings, with human bodies. They lived very brief lives, but they will forever be known and loved. And it doesn’t seem reasonable–or humane–that their bodily remains must be treated legally as merely medical waste.
