SC rejects plea to terminate foetus diagnosed with Down Syndrome
SC rejected the plea saying "we have a life in our hands", media reported.
The apex court said though the medical report suggests the foetus is likely to have mental and physical challenges but that does not warrant a termination of pregnancy.
In January, SC had allowed a woman to terminate her pregnancy under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act when the medical report said that the foetus would not be able to survive without a skull, media reported.
