House's Baby

World Magazine reports about last night's episode of "House" on Fox:
Last night's episode of "House" solidified my fanhood of the medical mystery show: a woman's 21-week-old unborn child is killing her, but she refuses to have an abortion. Eventually House performs fetal surgery, in which the baby's hand pops out and clasps his proffered finger. The scene recreates the 1999 photo of baby Samuel Armas. (Armas's surgeon, by the way, says the baby was anesthetized and could not have moved; the photographer still says he saw the little hand grip). By the end of the show, the ever-skeptical House has discarded the word fetus for baby. If you saw the show, what did you think of it?
You can watch the clip from the show here. Looks like it was a very pro-life statement from a mainstream TV network. It's pretty amazing to think this actually got aired.
