Life Before Birth: The Down Syndrome Decision

This documentary examines the difficult decisions parents face over Down syndrome, as new prenatal tests reveal a diagnosis with near certainty. It explores what these advances mean for families, ethics and the future of children born with the condition. It gives space to deeply personal choices without easy judgement. It is a thoughtful health film about pregnancy, disability and the questions raised by modern screening. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
