Description

Description

Lemoine and colleagues discuss a bill reintroduced to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, which aims to end the bias and stigma associated with a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. They advocate for specific word choice revisions, including having clinicians recommend rather than require a 48-hour waiting period to make an informed choice.
