When a baby is premature it has its birthday registered. But a baby 2 months premature is actually no oldeer than a baby born at full term two months later.
The date of birth is thus spurious. Surely we should set the real date of birth as the due date for all premature babies?
This would then save (or wpould it cost) governmentts money on welfare benefits, education etc etc etc.
I believe we should start a worldwde campaign for "true date of birth" for all premature babies to allow this hugely disadvantaged segment of society all the rights of other segments
