Full term abortions

Sometimes parents opt for an abortion because the child has a serious birth defect like Trisomy 18. This chromosomal abnormality, which causes heart, kidney and severe mental disabilities, is usually fatal. About one in 6,000 babies have this problem. Most people can sympathize with the parents. The question arises, what happens if a similar problem is only detected after the baby is born. Is the country now ready for infanticide?
