To avoid this becoming a list or gallery without explanation, it may be helpful to explain what makes the baby picture "the cutest"... ;)
Soumyaraj Bhanja, studied at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology
The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from the mother’s womb.
Little Samuel’s mother, Julie Armas, was an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner’s remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performed these critical and special operations while the baby is still in the womb. During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby.
Now, this dates back to 1999. During the surgery on little Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed, hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon’s finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile. The photograph captures this miraculous event with perfect clarity.
It is a graphic reminder that growing in the womb of his or her mother is a baby. It is not a “glob of tissue,” or “product of conception.” That pre-born baby is a human being with all the emotions, will and personality of any human being. That picture says it in a way that a thousand words cannot.
Little Samuel’s mother said that they wept for days when they saw the picture. She said, “The photo reminds us my pregnancy isn’t about disability or illness, it’s about a little person.” That’s what it’s always been about.
Samuel was born in perfect health and the surgery was a success! Here's a photograph of Samuel from recent years, now in his teens.
And the man behind this miracle, Dr. Joseph P. Bruner.
Hope this is worth your read :) Cheers!

Kolhapur. While a lady was waiting at traffic signal for green light she was approached by a beggar woman holding a child in her lap.
The baby was crying like hell and the beggar woman begged money from her.
The lady got out of her car and asked the beggar why the child was crying so hard ?
The beggar woman said that the child was very hungry and she needed some money for milk. This smart lady smelt something fishy as she realised that it was certainly not due to hunger. (women have god given gift of sensing abnormalities)
She asked the beggar to handover the child to her. She would pay Rs.100 if the beggar did it.
The beggar agreed. As soon as the lady got the child in her lap she removed his cloths and found three forceps applied on the child’s stomach and two on his thighs, while the poor child was bleeding. The beggar woman would move her hand on his thighs to increase pains so that the baby cries louder but others would see it as an act of affection.
The beggar was beaten black and blue by the public when this lady exposed it to others.
Later, the police found that the child was an abducted one. The poor child was able to get back to his parents from Hyderabad. His mom shed tears of gratitude and thanked this lady profusely for helping in getting her child back.
Salute to you brave lady !
Please be careful before you donate to beggars. There may be a racket behind it.
