Caroline and Roger have watched two of their babies die of an inherited disease; they now have one healthy child and badly want another. This program puts their dilemma in very personal terms—Should they risk another pregnancy? If the fetus is found to carry the same fatal gene, should it be aborted? They have firsthand experience of the strains that a severely disabled child puts on a marriage and other children. They are Christians opposed to abortion but feel they could not bear to see another unhealthy child suffer and die. What they should do is the subject of discussion by a Catholic bioethicist, a clinical geneticist, and an Asian woman politician. (28 minutes)
