A moralidade do aborto de fetos com mielomeningocele (original) (raw)

The progress of medical science has allowed pre-natal diagnosis even earlier and more accurate. Lately, more women are aware of the fact that their pregnancy have not been planned as they imagined. The diagnosis of malformed fetuses, as here as our subject with myelomeningocele, have emerged several discussions. Is it morally accepted termination of pregnancy of fetuses with mielomeningocele? One child with myelomeningocele is considered as a chronic complex due to involvement of different organs and functions such as the nervous central system, urinary tract and the ability to walk, leading these children to be always dependent on the care of others. It has been known that many women are not prepared and do not want to live under this situation. Therefore, is it morally acceptable to offer the possibility of performing an abortion on this context? This thesis has the main purpose to discuss the morality of abortion of fetuses with myelomeningocele, analysing, under the light of bioethics, arguments for and against.
