In some countries, some families do scanning on fetuses, particularly within the first three months, in an attempt to see whether the fetus is diseased or not. Sometimes, families discover that the fetus is afflicted with a disease that is NOT life threatening, but they want to have a baby that is free from all diseases. The question now is, does the family have the right to abort the fetus in such a case, especially when the law of the country doesn't consider abortion to be a crime in such an instance? Does Islam allow abortion in the case in point?
