UNLABELLED
Catholic healthcare institutions, physicians, and midwives routinely employ testing for Down syndrome as a part of prenatal care. This testing is an essential part of eugenic abortion and often leads to it. Catholic teaching clearly forbids such testing when undertaken with abortive intent if the baby has Down syndrome or other abnormalities. This article discusses (1) the evolution of prenatal genetic testing and abortion, (2) how this testing may involve complicity in eugenic abortion, and (3) offers proposals to avoid and end Catholic healthcare's cooperation with this evil.
SUMMARY
This article discusses why prenatal genetic testing as practiced in many Catholic healthcare institutions is ethically problematic and then proposes solutions.
未加标注
天主教医疗保健机构、医生和助产士通常会将唐氏综合征检测作为产前护理的一部分。这种检测是优生堕胎的重要组成部分，并且常常导致堕胎。如果婴儿患有唐氏综合征或其他异常情况，当出于堕胎意图进行此类检测时，天主教教义明确禁止这样做。本文讨论了（1）产前基因检测与堕胎的演变，（2）这种检测如何可能涉及参与优生堕胎，以及（3）提出避免并终止天主教医疗保健机构与这种恶行合作的建议。
总结
本文讨论了许多天主教医疗保健机构所实施的产前基因检测为何在伦理上存在问题，然后提出了解决方案。
