SELECTIVE FETAL TERMINATION Meaning and Definition

1. Selective fetal termination refers to a medical procedure conducted during pregnancy with the intention of selectively ending the life of one or more fetuses within a multiple pregnancy, while allowing the remaining fetus(es) to continue developing. This procedure is typically employed in cases where a woman is carrying multiples, such as twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples, and there are complications or medical conditions that pose significant risks to the health and viability of the fetuses or the mother.

   The process involves the careful examination and evaluation of each fetus in order to identify any abnormalities or medical conditions that could lead to severe disabilities, life-threatening complications, or otherwise compromise the overall well-being of the affected fetus(es) or the mother. Once the fetus(es) with identified complications are determined, a targeted intervention is performed to terminate their development, while allowing the remaining healthy fetus(es) to continue their gestation period.

   Selective fetal termination is a highly specialized medical procedure that necessitates careful counseling, evaluation, and collaboration between the pregnant woman, her healthcare providers, and other medical experts. It aims to make informed decisions with regards to which lives are more viable and have higher chances of healthy survival, while considering the risks and potential benefits for both the mother and the unaffected fetus(es).
