Drama Centered on the dilemma faced by a woman who is already six months pregnant when she learns that her unborn child will have Down's syndrome as well as a serious heart defect. Should she be able to choose the option of a late-term abortion? How can she and her husband know whether the unborn child could have a life worth living or would only suffer? In the end, the expectant mother realizes that only she can make this decision.

	Media	Author	Review
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A very TV-friendly movie whose decent performances can’t really compensate for such lackluster filmmaking"
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"A very standard-issue drama (...) What’s missing is anything that gets under the skin, or a discussion that goes deeper than daytime talk shows"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"A wrenchingly affecting picture (...) But (...) the considerable emotional impact does not quite obscure the fact that there are several questionable directing decisions here"
