I was born over eight weeks premature, in 1989, in South Africa.

I got lucky, sure. But "any other country" letting premature babies die without intervention is perhaps too broad a claim.

My daughter was born 8 weeks premature in Germany. She was considered an extremely unproblematic case (though without medical attention, she probably wouldn't have made it).

On the same ward, we had at least one 700 gram baby that was doing fine, and several that were close to that. So agree, the parent's claim is definitely way too broad.
