If a doctor told you your unborn child has a 99% chance of severe downs syndrome, to the point where they would need constant care until the day they die. Do you think it's ethical to abort? (lemmy.world)

It is ethical to abort in the first part of the pregnancy. If tge fetus has a chance of disability or mental disorder.
No one is ready to take care of a disabled person instead of a healthy child.
It is ethical to give the child up for adoption (now tge adopter should be ready for the same problem).
Also it is also ethical to keep it.
