A member asked:
What sort of a bioethical decision could parents make if their child has tay sachs disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: No physician is going to make any decision for you or your family. You need to know the disease you are dealing with, and the probable outcomes that you will face. The decision that you make will be made by you and your family. Your physicians will help in anyway they can, but it is your decision. I am sorry you are going through this and wish there was something else i could say to help you.
