Should this child have been born?

IMO she violated the contract she had with the parents. There was a clause in there about them having the right to require a pregnancy termination in the event of significant genetic problems.

I get what you're saying and I'll just call Crystal the "surrogate mom". I think that you're right and technically "bio" and "genetic" are synonymous.

Terminology aside, while Crystal violated the contract, I don't think forced abortion is an option in reality. I can't see anybody forcibly taking a pregnant woman to have an abortion against her will without being charged with kidnapping and possibly other crimes. JMO. Interesting story.
