Una confusión ampliamente presente en muchos ambientes es entre aborto eugenésico y aborto terapéutico. Aborto eugenésico es la interrupción del embarazo con la intención de matar al embrión o feto, dado que presenta una anomalía genética valorada negativamente por la madre o las personas que pueden tomar esa decisión [...] Nada tiene que ver el aborto terapéutico con el aborto eugenésico. El llamado aborto terapéutico es la interrupción del embarazo en un estado de inviabilidad del feto o embrión, dado que este embarazo está causando un deterioro grave de la salud de la madre, le puede causar daños severos e irreversibles que pueden producirle la muerte. 3, record 1, Spanish, - aborto%20eugen%C3%A9sico
