Results: Boy With 'No Brain' Continues to Defy Expectations After Parents Refused Abortion Five Times

Doctors did not expect Noah Wall, who was born with spina bifida (only 2 percent of his brain and is paralyzed from the waist down) to live more than a few days. Do you know anyone who was encouraged to abort their child because doctors did not expect the baby to survive or have any quality of life?

They advised his parents, Shelley and Rob Wall, to consider abortion on five separate occasions. But they refused, and now Noah continues to defy expectations. Do you know anyone who refused to abort their child despite encouragement from others (even "medical professionals")?

But, at the age of three, his brain had grown to a remarkable 80 percent of what it should be and is now nearly fully-functional, leaving medical professionals stunned. He is now undergoing specialized treatment – designed to alter the way the brain sends messages to his limbs. Do you believe in medical miracles or healing that can take place beyond medical understanding?

"We were offered termination five times," Rob told the documentary, The Boy Without a Brain. "It was never an option for us. To me, we wanted to give Noah that chance of life." "To hear his brain's almost back to normal is beyond belief," Shelly Wall said. "Rob and I broke down when we heard the news. It was like a dream. I've never known anything like it. Even the consultants were in tears. Every time we see the doctors, they just shake their heads. They're just amazed at what he can do." Do you think it was brave of Noah's parents to refuse to abort him and give him a chance at life, despite the estimated odds by the doctors?

Every year, Noah gives out hundreds of Christmas presents to staff and patients at Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle – the hospital he was born in. With more therapy, it is hopeful he will one day deliver gifts on foot. Claire Nicholson, Noah's consultant neurosurgeon, said in 2016: "He has surprised us through his life so far. He's completely remarkable." Do you like stories like these with happy endings where someone defies the odds?

Nicholson added that Noah teaches the medical profession that "you can't ever know, doesn't matter how many statistics you throw at something". Noah is just one of many babies who have defied the odds. Estimates have predicted that 80 percent of unborn babies diagnosed with spina bifida, each year, are aborted. However, pro-life campaigners are hopeful that now the surgery has been made routinely available on the NHS the number of unborn babies terminated each year will fall. Do you hope to see the number of aborted children each year continue to decline as medical technologies and procedures improve?
