I. Respect for Human Life
Prenatal diagnosis is morally licit, “if it respects the life and
integrity of the embryo and the human fetus and is directed toward its safe
guarding or healing as an individual….
It is gravely opposed to the moral law when this is done with the thought of
possibly inducing an abortion, depending upon the results: a diagnosis must not
be the equivalent of a death sentence.”81
