So when you abort an anencephalic foetus by partial birth and
collapsing what remains of the skull, you are not killing a full,

more than a few hours, they cannot adapt to life ex utero.
In this case could it be kinder to the parents to allow them that few
hours, or is it kinder to stop the process sooner? Is attachment and
coping more or less in each case?
Is there the thought that it may be more than a few hours and then
problems of care ensue?
