Is it reasonable to have an abortion on a fetus suspected of having a disability?

Patient's question:

Soon, while browsing a website, I happened to come across the hazards of congenital disabilities. I want to know if it is appropriate to terminate a pregnancy for a fetus with disabilities? What actions can lead to fetal disabilities?

Doctor's answer:

It is very appropriate that many expectant mothers dislike putting headphones or small speakers on their bellies. They believe that the fetus cannot hear sounds through the abdomen, and only music played close to the belly can be effective. In fact, this is incorrect. The fetus's cochlea is in a period of growth and development, and the nervous system of the eardrum is very delicate. Exposure to high-frequency music stimulation can damage the short fibers of the eardrum, causing irreversible harm. This can easily result in the child being born deaf, and the condition is difficult to treat.
