Many parents whose children have been given a diagnosis or prognosis of fetal disability have experienced a lack of clarity in how this has been communicated to them. Additionally, many have experienced a presumption of the medical profession that they would opt for abortion, and a lack of information and support for the option of bearing and raising their disabled baby, receiving palliative care for newborn children, or even considering adoption.
All of this constitutes a lack of accommodation, inclusion, and support for disability, and causes a culture in which parents feel pressure to abort their babies if they have Down’s Syndrome or other disabilities. If the right medical reforms were brought about that enabled support for parents, cfDNA implementation can be implemented as an uncomplicated benefit.
