Government May Help Baby Couple Wanted Surrogate to Abort Because He Had Down Syndrome The Australian government may intervene to save a baby who is getting international media attention because a couple who paid a surrogate to carry their twin babies to term wanted him to be aborted after they found out he had Down Syndrome.

Conjoined Twins Who Were Joined at the Head Doing Well 10 Years After Separation Surgery At LifeNews.com over the years, we’ve profiled a number of conjoined twins. In some cases, parents of the twins were given suggestions by doctors to have an abortion. In other cases, the babies were given a chance at life and they were unable to be separated because their unique medical situation made it medically dangerous to perform the surgery, which could have placed their lives at risk.
In those later cases like Tatiana and Christa, who are joined at the head, while some people in society would view them as “freaks” who have a low “quality of life,” they can see through each others’ eyes and they totally support each other physically and emotionally. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/05/conjoined-twins-who-were-joined-at-the-head-doing-well-10-years-after-separation-surgery/

Doctors Told Mom to Abort Baby With Rare Illness, But Her Response Was Priceless
Samuel Wilson was born with a rare birth defect called congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which is condition that causes the stomach and intestines to develop in the child’s chest cavity because of a hole in the diaphragm.
Samuel’s mother, Vicky Davies, said that it was at her 20 week scan that she found out that her son only had a 50/50 chance of survival. Davies said, “We were taken to a room and told that Samuel’s stomach organs were in his chest and that there was a possibility of Down syndrome, so I was advised to have an amniocentesis test.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/08/05/doctors-told-mom-to-abort-baby-with-rare-illness-but-her-response-was-priceless/
