Just when this thread is getting humorous...
I found the segment completely disturbing for a much bigger reason than that the baby died. That was no surprise of course. The fact that the two people knowingly brought the poor thing into this world to suffer just so they could be parents. I am sure they are otherwise deep down very nice people, they sounded very sensitive and kind, but I just think it's completely selfish of them. I didn't need the piano music and emotion filled voices to get me down, the image of that baby unable to express his pain and suffering with tubes, drugs, and holes in his organ systems worked just fine. There's a difference between consciously fighting for life and being forced to prolong one in a status very loosely referred to as alive.
