C. Everett Koop, the former US Surgeon General, was one of the leading pediatric surgeon specializing in correcting birth defects and an opponent of legal abortion. He says:
“Yet, I have a sense of satisfaction in my career, best indicated perhaps by the fact that no family has ever come to me and said: “Why did you work so hard to save the life of my child?” And no grown child has ever come back ask me why, either.”
