Excuse me, but James Elgin Gill (born on 20 May 1987 in Ottawa, Canada) was the earliest premature baby in the world. He was 128 days premature (21 weeks and 5 days gestation) and weighed 1 lb. 6 oz. (624 g). He survived and is quite healthy. (Cut and pasted from Wikipedia and cross checked against citations)

Not once did I deny the existence of premature children. "James Elgin Gill" required months of recovery time; for what the mother's womb could not provide, surgery and machines did. http://www.canada.com/topics/bodyand...c-b6ca80f61bdc The child was only viable insofar as it was having to complete the process in a completely separate environment.
