Selective Reduction- Updated OP - Debates

Jayme · 01-13-2009, 01:33 PM

Do you view it as abortion?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_reduction

The specialist I saw yesterday brought it up, offered it.
I was surprised because I didn't think it was something they did with twins- that it was more for high order multiples.

Would you do it? Under what circumstances?

It is a form of abortion in my opinion.

Medically speaking, that is what it is - so, yes

~~Miss B Hav'n~~ · 01-13-2009, 01:36 PM

What else would someone see it as???

It technically is abortion since it is killing a fetus. I didnt look up any other sources besides the one that you posted, but it seems that if it is in the best interest of their/mothers health then it is okay. I dunno though. I guess I dont get the reasons behind doing it except for not wanting multiple babies, in which case i dont agree with it.

Yep.

yes i do..but my opinion on abortion is strictly personal..i know i could never do it (although i havent been put in the situation that i would have to do it either)..but i believe it could be in the hands of the doctor, mother and father..not any other 3rd party..

That would be precisely the reason for doing it.

Isn't this what a lot people do when they go through Invitro if they have multiple eggs that get fertilized?
