Shane Michael Haley was born anencephaly, a birth defect that causes parts of the brains to be missing. When this happened the child lives for anywhere from a few hours up to a couple days. Shane lived for 4 hours. When the parents found out about this, they made a little bucket list for him to complete before passing away. While he was in the womb, he got to meet the Philadelphia Phillies, go to the top of the Empire State Building, and also share a cheese steak with his parents. After he was born, he got to meet his entire family and was baptized into the Catholic faith. He then died peacefully in his mother's arms. More than 700,000 follow their Facebook page, "Prayers for Shane". His parents thanked everyone and were so happy that he got to spend his entire life in the arms of loved ones. They added that he will always be 'our little miracle.'
How would you feel if you were the parents of a child diagnosed with this?

I would feel upset but I would have the best time with him before he goes.
I would feel sad that knowing that by baby was going to die. I would cherish every moment with him/her.
