Discussion Prompt
About one baby out of every 600 born in the U.S. has Down’s syndrome. Many of these children are born with fatal physical conditions that can cause quite a bit of pain and suffering. For instance, a baby with Down’s syndrome could be born with part of their vital organs missing, intestines might be blocked, and their heart might not pump properly. Surgery is often required for these infants to survive beyond the first few days of life.
Parents must decide whether to allow surgery to save the child, who may end up requiring costly long-term care and services for life or withholding permission, thus causing the child to die.
Also, we will be concerned with which course of action would be the right one, not with who has the right to decide. Using one of the moral theories from this course to bolster support for your view, do your best to definitely answer whether it is immoral for the parents to withhold surgery?
