Una confusión ampliamente presente en muchos ambientes es entre aborto eugenésico y aborto terapéutico. [...] 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. 4, record 1, Spanish, - aborto%20terap%C3%A9utico
