CATANIA, Italy (Reuters) -Monia, a Sicilian woman in her early forties, was overjoyed when she discovered in October 2022 she was expecting her first child. Her doctor, however, recommended a genetic test due to her age, and the result was one no parent wants to receive.
The foetus had a genetic syndrome. Monia, who declined to give her surname, asked her gynaecologist what she could do.
