I have seen this video before, but it was shown on Oprah again on October 28th. Eliot Mooney was born with Trisomy 18 - also known as Edwards Syndrome. He lived for 99 days.
Trisomy 18: At conception, 23 chromosomes from the father and 23 chromosomes from the mother combine to create a baby with a set of 46 chromosomes in each cell. A trisomy occurs when a baby has three #18 chromosomes instead of the normal two.
This is one of the most powerful videos I have ever seen.

I wanted to share this video and also pass along Eliot's legacy.
