VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A second of the six babies born earlier this month in a Vancouver hospital in Canada's first delivery of sextuplets has died, a local radio station reported on Monday.

Doctors say babies born in Canada after only 25 weeks have, on average, an 80 percent survival rate and are normally required to stay in intensive care for about 100 days.
But medical officials have also said that care for the babies in this case could be more complicated because the parents are members of the Jehovah's Witnesses cult, which objects to the use of blood transfusions.
