"Ethical Question: You tell a family you believe their baby has Down's Syndrome and send off the appropriate genetic tests. Then, you discover that the baby also has a disorder where the esophagus is not correctly attached and the baby cannot eat. Surgery is necessary, but not urgent; however the baby will die if you never do surgery. Along with this disorder often come heart and lung defects as well. The parents are young and only want healthy children. They tell you not operate until the results of the genetic test are returned.
