Okay, to what end? A person with only a brain stem is basically a plant. A plant that has multiple seizures a day. No thoughts, no personality, no possibility of ever doing anything but lay there, ever, no matter what. Is allowing that sort of existence to persist for nine years a good thing? I'd argue it is not.
I don't know what you mean by "a diagnostic issue". Anencephaly or iniencephaly are not curable or treatable no matter how early you diagnose it. I'm not talking about relatively minor issues like spina bifida or encephalocele.
And from every child who survives with either shows the frailty of your argument. I will once again resort to how many children survived what at the time was considered unsurpassable odds and lived. You can keep yelling insurmountable odds, yet funnily enough that changes on a yearly basis because of the progress of understanding the disease and working toward a solution.
And every child that cries in misery and suffering as it dies in slow agony because they didn't have the random luck to survive this horrible defect is worth it because a miracle may happen and they might kinda live for a few years as a vegetable.
Kid suffering, A-Okay as long as we can own the libs.

Do you lived in a third world country?
I mean, depends on what you call the South.
