Years ago I was the liaison between our local hospital and mothers of distressed newborns. Heart wrenching to say the least. Most of these babies would not survive. One thing I was VERY careful about was never giving these families false hope about the condition of their infant. Encouraged them to visit, encouraged them to touch their babies if allowed. Encouraged them to take pictures, and to love their babies while they were here. Encouraged them to let their babies hear their voices.
Am not an MD and did not pretend to be one. No one knows which baby might survive. The doctors in the hospital made sure not to exploit these families.
