It's kind of crazy the things that technology can do now. I don't think I could bear trying an operation on a 18 year old baby like that with an experimental strategy. I do hope that the babies who got it survive without any issues as well.
I would not be surprised to hear that giant worms existed. It makes me wonder if they would be like those giant worms in games/anime.
Heh, they were Giants in their time, not in today's standards 😄
