Машко бебе, оставено од лекарите да умре, преживеало еден ден, но умрело вториот ден во гратчето Росарио во јужна Италија.
Какви дегени, немам зборови...

The case has reignited controversy on the legality of abortion in the devoutly Roman Catholic country.
Tragedy: The baby died in the southern Italian city of Rossano
It could also raise questions in Britain over the legal lower limits for abortion and the ability of a foetus to survive outside the womb.
The mother, pregnant for the first time, had opted for an abortion after pre-natal scans suggested her baby was disabled.
But the infant survived the termination, carried out on Saturday in the Rossano Calabria hospital, and was left by doctors to die.
He was discovered alive the following day - some 20 hours after the operation - by Father Antonio Martello, the hospital chaplain who had gone to pray beside his body.
He found that the baby, wrapped in a sheet with his umbilical cord still attached, was moving.

The priest raised the alarm and doctors immediately arranged for the infant to be taken to a specialist neo-natal unit at a neighbouring hospital where he died on Monday.
Italian police are investigating the case for 'homicide', as the law in Italy imposes an obligation on doctors to try to preserve the life of a child if he or she survives an abortion.
Italian health minister Eugenia Roccella said an inquiry would be held
Inspection: Health minister Eugenia Roccella said an inquiry will be held
The Italian government is also considering an inquiry into the conduct of the hospital staff.
A spokesman for the British-based ProLife Alliance said: 'There cannot be anybody in the world who is not horrified by a story like this.'
Most abortions at 22 weeks involve the induction of the birth, normally resulting in the death of a foetus.
Since 1978 abortion has been available in Italy in the first trimester but is restricted to specific circumstances, such as disability, in the second.
The government is considering a review of the working of the laws.
The legal upper limit for abortion in the UK is 24 weeks.
In 2005, a baby boy in Manchester was born alive at 24 weeks after surviving three attempts to abort him. He is now a five-year-old schoolboy.
Eugenia Roccella, the Italian sub-secretary of Health, said that the Ministry of Health will send its inspectors to the hospital to ensure that the case is effectively addressed and to verify that respect has been shown for the law that 'prohibits abortion when there is the possibility of an autonomous life for the foetus'.
She said the child's death represented a 'grave case of therapeutic abandonment of a very premature newborn... an act against the sense of human pity but also against all ethics of medical practice'
The case is causing uproar in Italy because it is the second involving a foetus of that age surviving the procedure in just three years.
The other involved a baby in Florence who weighed just 17oz when he was aborted at 22 weeks because of a suspected genetic disorder – but lived for three days.
