Interview with a couple that wanted to have an amniocentesis to see if their baby had Down syndrome or another problem (with the intent to abort if he did) but were afraid of the test causing a miscarriage:
“Husband: we really want this baby…
Wife:… And if it’s a healthy baby I really hate the thought of losing this person.”
Barbara Katz Rothman. The Tentative Pregnancy: How Amniocentesis Changes the Experience of Motherhood (New York: WW Norton & Company, 1993) 6
