Spouses A and B went to the OB-GYN of B for a laboratory procedure to test the gene of the two month-old fetus. The said test has the capacity to identify whether the unborn child would develop physical or psychological deformity in the long run while it is still in the womb of the mother. The result of the test showed that that the unborn child would develop physical and psychological abnormalities. Knowing the challenge of the parents of raising a child with such deformities which includes the pain they need to bear on how society would treat individuals with such, the doctor suggested to abort the fetus. As a couple, would you consider the recommendation of the said doctor?
