Do they really sit on Ivory Tower and pass judgement???

I am appalled by the judgement given by the Mumbai High Court in the Mehta abortion case. My fury may partially generate from the judgement, but more so from the report of the 3 doctors on the basis of which her abortion plea was dismissed. The three doctors who a few days ago certified a fair chance of the foetus developing a congenital heart disease at the time of birth miraculously opined today that such chances were extremely remote. Did medical science progress to this extent in a couple of days or was it an overpowering unnamed intervention???????
Well the purpose of my blog is to not analyze the rampant beaurocratic corruption but rather to gather a few responses on if the judgement was correct. Has it been taken based on a moral stance or from a practical standpoint? Or is it a sheer conservative approach preventing the judges from making a landmark judgement calling for the amendment of the 37 year old abortion clause which states that a foetus over 20 weeks old can be aborted only in case of proven fatality to the mother's life. The Mehtas argue that nothing can be more cruel than to see your child suffer from a traumatic medical condition. If the disease indeed manifests itself upon birth, the child's condition will indeed be pitiable with the infant being subject to multiple surgeries and the infiltration of a pacemaker into the infant's beautiful and innocent heart. With competition turning fierce and if I may say so ugly, this child with impaired physical abilities will indeed be at a disadvantage where "marks" and "grade" have become the only yardsticks to measure one's credibility leave alone intelligence. I can recall my mom's anxiety and prayers at the slightest of cold or fever that I developed not only as a child but even today. Imagine the parents woes to see their child battle not only physical constraints, but emotional as well as social. Despite their trauma they will have to put up a brave front to ably assist their child to brace all the challenges with courage. But the big question remains "At the end of the battle will anybody emerge victorious?????? or to put it more correctly "Is it wise to even wage such a precarious battle in the first place?????- I have no answer....
But I am also overwhelmed with the support people all over have rendered to this couple. Various NGO's, child-care organizations, the Church, hospitals that have offered to bear the consequences from monetary help upto taking custody of the child and giving him good upbringing. Now I think, this unborn child has so many well-wishers with the entire country praying for his life. Given the birth rate in India, when no one even knows about the genesis of life happening in multiple numbers all over the country, this child has the entire country eagerly awaiting to embrace him upon his arrival to the world. We do speak of advances in science and that technology has grown like never before, but I think all of this is second only to HIS Divine Power. Man cannot be clairvoyant and forsee this infant's sufferings as HIS divine power coupled with the miracle of science has the capability of surpassing every misery. But the big question is "Is all this arguement and moral principle of not killing a life (put very crudely) all rational????????
But this arguement can be defended purely by pining hopes on the hope that people do not forget their promises and do continue to extend their support to this couple even after all the euphoria surrounding this case dies out.
Now for the HC judges- It is indeed time to climb down your ivory towers and make some landmark judgement..Make a clause to provide educational and admission and monetary concessions to such children who do not fall under the conventional and almost extinct"physically challenged students Quota" who fight an acrimonious battle with life and face bigger challenges than scoring 99% in exams. These are truly the most successful candidates in this game called life. I think our educational (more so the admission) system needs some serious rethinking!!!!!

Would love to get some comments on this issue that I think is pertinent.
