This should be 'The Picture of the Year,'
or perhaps, 'Picture of the Decade.' It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained
a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen
it except by those that care.
The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named
Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner.
The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from
his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse
in Atlanta . She knew of Dr Bruner's remarkable Surgical procedure. Practicing
at Vanderbilt Univ Med Ctr in Nashville , he performs these special operations
while the baby is still in the womb.
During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes
a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr Bruner completed the surgery
on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through
the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger.
Dr Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the
most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure
he was just frozen, totally immobile.
The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors
titled the picture, 'Hand of Hope .' The text explaining the picture begins,
'The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the
mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor
for the gift of life.'
Little Samuel's mother said they 'wept for days' when they saw the picture.
She said, 'The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness,
it's about a little person. 'Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation
100 percent successful.
