What has 20 weeks to do with a fetus. One will say that fetus will have senses by then so it is like an adult human being. But then what about the feelings of an adult man who will have medical complications?

Did you read my response??????? The article says... A committee of doctors appointed by the J J Hospital dean however stated that "the findings observed do not have substantive significance to resort to termination of pregnancy".

Idiot Mahesh, This is a country where even strong, 'normal', medically fit people gasp for space, a decent life and some comfort. I think you have not seen a single handicapped person in your life or even dealt with them. Do ANY of public structures or buildings have ANY provision for the disabled. I dunno from which part of the country you are, but to give u a simple example - try getting into a crowded local train in Bombay during peak hours. Now imagine, the plight of a diseased or crippled person. Finally, try, just try spending an hour with a physically or mentally challenged person. And i m not even mentioning the costs involved in medicines and treating them. besides, of course the trauma of seeing your beloved child leading a disabled life. This is a society with NO sympathies for the disabled. So if a parent knows that a child will be born with abnormalities, it is better for them to spare the trauma of a lifetime and abort the foetus. Think from all aspects before jumping to conclusions and blamign the parents.
