Abstract:  

Fetal reduction, as one of the most valuable achievements of mankind, is a new phenomenon and there are legal gapes in regard to difference aspects of it. Therefore, it is not clear if fetal reduction is permissible. This Article tries to answer whether fetal redaction entails civil responsibility from sharia and the law’s standpoint. According to the data gathered, parents of a fetus and physicians could be the ones who bear responsibility. Parents of a fetus or embryo assume most parts of the responsibility since they decide to conduct fetal reduction which could affect fetal life and health. As for physicians, they are responsible in the event of non-compliance with regulations and technical standards, committing medical errors at any stage including diagnosis or treatment during or after fetal reduction, and failure in obtaining consent and the acquittal of the patient or its legal guardian.
