There is an ethical dilemma being discussed where a young single woman attending her last year of college, named Anna, is in premature labour with an infant that has Down's syndrome. There is a small chance that the baby born will survive and if they do, it is extremely likely that there will be additional impairments. The doctor attempts to persuade Anna to allow the baby to be born then let it die without treatment or intervention because of the suffering they baby may go through as well as the massive responsibility associated with raising a disabled child, which is perceived to be burdensome. In choosing this option, she will have a better quality of life and happiness in the end. However, Anna is adamantly choosing to treat the baby regardless
