Summary

The aim of this study is to improve professional practices by better understanding parents who face the choice of medical termination of pregnancy.

The hypothesis of the study is that the decision to continue the pregnancy with a serious fetal pathology is more based on the belief and the representations of parents than on the diagnosis or prognosis criteria of the fetus.

A better understanding of the parents' motivations on their decision making by knowing what they expect from the caregivers would allow the division of representations, a better prenatal advice and a better perinatal support.
