‘Incompatible with Life’ is a judgment not a diagnosis | LifeSiteNews.com: Healthcare professionals use terminology to convey information about a patient’s diagnosis. Unfortunately, when explaining the diagnosis, objective, factual, information gets mixed in with opinion and value judgments. This can lead to an understanding on the part of the parents of an unborn child that their child no longer exists in the eyes of the medical profession and there is no reason to continue the pregnancy.
Parents are not only stunned to learn that their unborn child has a poor prenatal diagnosis but the parents also come away with the perception that their child’s condition has usurped its right to life – any life, no matter the duration.
