Medical Termination of Pregnancy (Amendment) Act (2021)

Our bodies

Medical science cannot detect all deficiencies of the fetus or their extent. Can a fetus be destroyed based on conjecture or preponderance of probability? No, medical ethics do not permit that. Only detectable major deficiencies in the fetus that in all probability will cause the baby to die if allowed to be born, are important in decision-making.
