In 2006, a woman about 15 weeks pregnant (in vitro) with fraternal twins opted to kill the baby with Down syndrome. The “doctor” mistakenly injected poison into the chromosomally normal baby. Rather than keep the remaining baby, however, the mother had him killed, too.
Last weekend, the medical board revoked the doctor’s license. He was negligent, after all. Medically speaking, what he did was akin to removing a healthy kidney while leaving the diseased kidney, or amputating the wrong foot. He says he’s haunted “by the outcome of this case”.
Let’s assume he meant “by the outcome of the procedure.” The man has killed perhaps hundreds of unborn babies, yet he’s haunted by killing this one baby. Because it was the “wrong” baby. Killing the Down baby, I presume, would not have haunted him.
If he’s haunted merely by the outcome of the case, well, that’s understandable, since the board decided against him.
If he feels bad now, wait until he has to answer to God for all those dead babies, Down or otherwise. 
Well, God, you see, what had happened was…
