Paper Abstract:
This paper explores the issues surrounding a pregnant woman’s decision whether to abort a fetus she knows will be born with Down’s Syndrome. The paper reviews the medical community’s focus on the treatability or not of the child’s medical problems as opposed to the other quality of life issues a child with a genetic abnormality might possess. The paper concludes that the worthiness of the child’s life exceeds its medical problems and, therefore, the paper argues against abortion under these circumstances.
