Wrong foetus terminated by hospital in twins mix-up
Doctors had advised the woman that one of the boys, whom she had already named, had a congenital heart defect that would require years of operations, if he survived at all, the Herald Sun reported.
She made the heartbreaking decision to abort the child, but on Tuesday the wrong baby was terminated. The woman then endured a lengthy caesarean section at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne during which the life of the sick foetus was also ended.
