    • Abstract:
      This article, titled "Stories of Prenatal Diagnosis: L. E.," discusses the experiences of a parent who received a prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome. The parent shares their frustration with the medical community for suggesting abortion as an option without any indication that they were considering it. It is revealed that the initial screening result indicating Down Syndrome was due to a lab error. The parent advises medical providers to never suggest abortion without explicit consent from the parents and encourages parents to seek second opinions and push for answers when receiving prenatal screening results.
