Is the process of voluntary abortion somehow productive in protecting the human specie? An instinctive elimination of inferior DNA?
yes if the threat is overpopulation, anyway.Is the process of voluntary abortion somehow productive in protecting the human specie? An instinctive elimination of inferior DNA?
Many unborn are miscarried naturally and this does seem to be a process of the body understanding that something has gone horribly wrong in the early development.Is the process of voluntary abortion somehow productive in protecting the human species? An instinctive elimination of inferior DNA?
But still, abortion is not (i hope) a tool for eugenics.
Then, if a handicap is detected on the 12 week or 20 week scan, it is expected that the woman will choose to "terminate". This is what the doctors "expect". The woman is encouraged, by the medical profession, to consider this option, seriously.

@HyacinthBouquet: yes, so...? And what are the consequences if such a baby is born?
(Misleading terminology fixed by me)Well, if you look at my previous post, the consequences could be that the embryo or fetus was not handicapped in the first place and that the doctor's sonographic diagnosis was wrong. Therefore, a baby would be born who was perfectly healthy.
(Misleading terminology fixed by me)If I were such a embryo or fetus, I would not choose to be aborted, myself. So, why should we expect this for others?
