Dear Doctor,

Please see Mary White who is planning her first pregnancy. Her brother has cystic fibrosis. I am not an expert in this subject but have stressed that the risk of her having a child with cystic fibrosis is high and that she needs to be aware that there is a distinct likelihood that any pregnancy would be likely to be affected and need TOP.

Regards,

Dr. N. O. N. Yews.
