If a mother for example has uterine cancer, for example and needs her uterus removed (a hysterectomy), an abortion, in other words, because otherwise she would die. SUrely it would not be a sin in this scenario? It would be very sad, yes, but not a sin?
How about if this woman had many more young children that depended on her? Would that have a greater bearing on the situation?
Furthermore, if through an ultrasound it is found that the foetus is secerely disformed, I'm not talking about narmal disformaties, I am talking about serious ones which would mean that the child would only survive for a matter of hours on birth, would an abotrion be ok the?
How about Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis, which tests embryos created in vitro for genetic illnesses, is it ok to implant the healthy embryos and not the unhealthy ones?
