In many people's opinions, it <should be proclaimed as "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "The <Picture of the Decade." The picture is that of <a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being <operated on by a surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed <with Spina Bifida and would not Survive if removed from the mother's <womb. Little Samuel's mother,Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in <Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. <Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he <performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb. <In the procedure, a C-section removes the uterus and the doctor makes a <small incision to operate on the baby. During the surgery on little <Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed, hand <through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. The <photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors <titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture <begins, "The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas <emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr.Joseph Bruner <as if thanking the doctor for the gift life...." < <You can see the actual picture.
