  6. Plenary – Remember this!!! • A married 34 year old woman is raped whilst walking home from work. She does not tell her husband due to a sense of shame. A month later, she finds out she is pregnant. It would be her first child. Distraught and confused, she does not act or even tell her husband until the 12 week scan, where she discovers that the foetus has Down's syndrome. She tells her husband, Immanuel Kant, what is his advice?

  7. Version 2 - • A married 34 year old woman is raped whilst walking home from work in a country where abortion is illegal. She does not tell her husband due to a sense of shame.

Distraught and confused, she does not act or even tell her husband until the 12 week scan, where she discovers that the foetus has Down's syndrome. She tells her husband, Immanuel Kant, what is his advice?

  9. Version 4 - • A married 34 year old woman is raped whilst walking home from work. She does not tell her husband due to a sense of shame. A month later, she finds out she is pregnant.
