For IP if you want to wander into this murky interface between medical
ethics and high-tech instruments.

>From the Christian Science Monitor, Dec. 7, 2001:

Last week France's highest appeals court ruled that children with Down
syndrome have a legal right never to have been born and could sue
doctors that attended the pregnancy.

(A similar problem with female infanticide based on pre-birth
sex-determination is a huge problem in India and China)
