Abstract
The controversy about multiple pregnancy and abortion has taken on a new dimension in Britain as a result of two widely publicized cases. A mother who was carrying twins wanted to give birth to only one child, so one fetus was aborted. Public outrage turned to dismay when it was revealed another mother who had been taking fertility drugs refused selective termination, a standard procedure to ensure the growth of healthy fetuses, in an ill-fated attempt to give birth to eight babies.
