During the delivery of her twins at just 23 weeks gestation, weighing just a pound, Vicki Forman begged the doctors to let her babies go knowing the daunting health issues they would face.  However, California law demanded resuscitation. Her daughter died just four days later; her son survived multiply disabled: blind, nonverbal, and dependent on a feeding tube. Here in the Lovely Life, lies the aftermath - the harrowing medical interventions and ethical considerations involving the sanctity of life and death, the anger, guilt, triumph, and eventual acceptance.
