Sorry, there's no fresh open thread or I would have posted it there. No need to rec this, it is just an FYI.

Maria and Jose Azevedo had to choose: allow their baby to die a preventable death or save him while acting against their religion. The doctor who helped guide them shares their story.
I'm glad to see when logic wins.
