✦ Synopsis

Central nervous system malformations are now frequently detected prenatally. Unfortunately, the progress in diagnosis having far outstripped that in therapeutics, the only question to answer is usually whether the pregnancy should be continued or terminated. Pediatric neurosurgeons have to deal with such problems more and more often. They are asked to give an opinion on the prognosis. In many cases the law requires their involvement in the decision about the possibility of a "therapeutic", or more correctly a medical, abortion. The final decision is based on the religious attitutes of the family and the neurosurgeon and on the law of the country in which the medical abortion would be performed. This article reviews the points of view of the main religions and also the laws in different countries. This knowledge may be of some help to neurosurgeons, especially when the religious attitudes of those involved are different or when their final decision is not in accordance with the law of the country.
