The Supreme Court today disallowed a woman, who is in her 26th week of pregnancy, to abort her foetus on the ground that it suffered from down syndrome. The court observed that though everybody knows that children with down syndrome are undoubtedly less intelligent, but they are fine people. <br/><br/>It said, as per the report of the medical board constituted to examine the 37-year-old woman, the foetus is likely to have mental and physical challenges but the advise of the doctors does not warrant termination of pregnancy. Referring to the report, the apex court said, there was no physical risk to the mother in continuation of pregnancy. The bench said, they have a life in their hands.<br/><br/>
