SELECTED REFORM RESPONSA
In the case which you are discussing, I would, therefore, say that since there is strong preponderance of medical opinion that the child will be born imperfect physically and even mentally, then for the mother's sake(i.e., her mental anguish now and in the future) she may sacrifice this part of herself This decision thus follows the opinion of Jacob Emden and Ben Zion Uziel against the earlier opinion of Yair Haim Bachrach.
