When Man Plays God

As the line between the law and ethics blurs,lets examine the medical dilemmas of our times

Euthanasia
With two daughters suffering from limb gridle muscular dystrophy,an incurable condition,their parents wants permission for mercy killing.The disease's burden,both mental and financial,had broken them and they wanted out.

Abortion
People want legal permission to abortion after 20-week period in case of serious abnormalities in the period of 22-24 week period.Doctors point out that tests today can pick up cardiac abnormalities in the 22-24 week period but there isn't any recourse for those who want to abort.
