This article examines the technique and legality of induced abortion of one or more fetuses in a multiple pregnancy, where the aim is the destruction of some but not all of the fetuses present (selective reduction of pregnancy). It concludes that since the legal status of the procedure in English law is unclear, it may be a criminal offence to perform selective reduction even where there is an ostensible clinical need. Moreover if the procedure is carried out negligently, and any infant damaged as a result is subsequently born alive, he or she may have a civil claim against the practitioner who carried out the procedure.
本文探讨了多胎妊娠中对一个或多个胎儿进行人工流产的技术及合法性，其目的是毁坏部分而非全部现存胎儿（选择性减胎）。结论是，由于该程序在英国法律中的法律地位不明确，即使表面上存在临床需求，进行选择性减胎也可能构成刑事犯罪。此外，如果该程序实施不当，且由此受损的任何婴儿随后存活出生，他或她可能对实施该程序的从业者提出民事索赔。
