Were you a little bit weirded out as to why we are calling you?

I don't, you know, I mean, I just don't understand the whole thing.

The story really gets going with a phone call to this woman, Elizabeth Mason.

I'm a receptionist slash switchboard operator.

She works at a research lab in Boston, and one day she's sitting at her desk, and she gets a call from a woman who says that she has donated some eyes to them, and she wants to know what happened to them.

And was it what happened without getting into too many?

Five days after he arrived, they were married.

A few years after that, they were pregnant with twins.

And when did you first know that something was up?

They went in for the screening.

The ultrasound tech took a scan of the two fetuses.

And shortly after, the doc came into the room.

The brain and skull weren't forming properly, which is what anencephaly is.

Making matters worse.

So Sarah says they were suddenly faced with this choice.

Really?

Yeah.

Her family's Catholic.

She was raised Catholic.

And what'd they say?
