Abstract

The article discusses the commentary on a stimulus paper which discusses the medical practices that objectively question human life affected by intellectual and developmental disability (IDD). Topics include growth in offering commercially available blood tests to screen for genetic abnormalities in pregnant mothers in some countries, resulting in abortions; and exploring how the decision is taken to legally terminate premature babies with severe disabilities and life threatening conditions.
