A member asked:
5 months pregnant. on amniotic fluid sample test, "fetal karyotype was found to be 47, ##, +21 indicating down syndrome.". should i go for abortion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal decision: Yes, your child has down's syndrome. I have no idea how those children are treated in india. However, they are the most loving, kind people i care for. They have the capacity for love and joy unlike any of my other patients. Will the child require extra care and have different needs - absolutely. Only you can decide if you have the capacity to provide this and continue the pregnancy.
